MINNEAPOLIS -- Paul Iaizzo's Visible Heart Lab at the University of Minnesota hums with activity. Heart monitors, computer readouts, and a bank of 3D printers. Iaizzo's staff aren't racing to print ...

Engineers developed a procedure to 3D print a soft and flexible replica of a patient's heart. These models could help doctors tailor treatments, such as aortic valves, to an individual patient. No two ...

Researchers have created a technique to 3D-print custom, actuated replicas of human hearts to help guide treatment decisions for patients with heart disease and other cardiac afflictions. A team of ...

At 3 weeks old, Samantha underwent the first of four surgeries for congenital single-ventricle heart disease. She had been diagnosed before birth with the rare birth defect that left only half of her ...

In a game-changer for drug testing & precision medicine, a 3D flexible electrode array wraps around cardiac organoids, capturing electrical signals in three dimensions.

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, ...

Now, Georgia Tech researchers have created a 3D-printed heart valve made of bioresorbable materials and designed to fit an individual patient's unique anatomy. Once implanted, the valves will be ...

CNN — Researchers have 3D-printed a heart using a patient's cells, providing hope that the technique could be used to heal hearts or engineer new ones for transplants. "This is the first time anyone ...

Over the last decade, advances in 3D printing have unlocked new possibilities for bioengineers to build heart tissues and structures. Their goals include creating better in vitro platforms for ...

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and Emory University have developed a 3D-printed heart valve made of a bioresorbable polymer. Most heart valve implants currently are ...
