Cardiovascular disease remains a leading global health burden, yet many preclinical systems still struggle to predict how candidate drugs will perform in the human heart.

In a world-first, scientists at Tel Aviv University have successfully 3D printed a tiny human heart using real human cells. This innovation could reshape the future of organ transplants, offering a ...

The models can be used to plan surgeries and in the future could be used to help trial new drugs. A healthy heart beats at a steady rate, between 60 and 100 times a minute. That’s not the case for all ...

The goal of the partnership is to develop the first human mini-heart models of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) using stem cells from real patients and improve the understanding of this disease ...

MSU researchers have created the first human heart-like “organoids” that enable the study of atrial fibrillation, or A-fib. The models also enable new ways of evaluating heart development, diseases ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto's Institute of Biomedical Engineering have developed a new method to mature ...

Researchers from the Centenary Institute and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) have developed a human heart cell model demonstrating that the virus that causes COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) can ...

A study led by Maria Carmo-Fonseca at GIMM has helped clarify one of the main limitations of lab-grown heart cells, which are widely used around the world to study heart disease and test new drugs.
