Cardiovascular-related disorders are a significant global health problem. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in developed countries, accounting for a third of the mortality ...

If you were planning to perform open-heart surgery on someone, it would definitely help if you could first do a "dry run" on an exact replica of their heart. Doing so may soon be possible, thanks to a ...

Using models derived from human cells and tissues, called in vitro models, researchers designed a 3D organoid model that mimics how the human heart develops. The researchers saw how exposure to low ...

Engineers can now print three-dimensional replicas of a human heart custom-designed to look and act like an individual patient’s heart. The goal is to provide realistic models so that doctors, ...

Researchers at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (IMBA) have used human pluripotent stem cells to grow sesame seed-sized heart organoids, called cardioids, ...

HLI researchers 3D print living heart tissue. The engineered heart samples can be used to test drugs and treatments before ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. Adolf Ziegler (1820-1889) opened an ...

Heart disease kills 18 million people each year, but the development of new therapies faces a bottleneck: no physiological model of the entire human heart exists -- so far. A new multi-chamber ...
