The pink, white and red blob of tissue quivers in a vat of clear goop about the size of a kitchen sink. Graduate students whiz around this slimy beating heart and crawl under the tubes connected to ...

Many promising therapies fail because preclinical models do not fully capture the complexity of the human heart. A new review ...

Scientists from QIMR Berghofer's Cardiac Bioengineering Lab have developed lab-grown, three-dimensional heart tissues known as cardiac organoids that mimic the structure and function of real adult ...

A lab in Vienna has used stem cells to create thousands of tiny heart-like structures. Each miniature heart, dubbed a “cardioid,” is the size of a sesame-seed and has a hollow chamber that beats.

Stem cells have been used to grow an embryonic-like “heart” that can pump fluid around a system of tiny channels on a laboratory slide. The mini-heart could allow researchers to explore how physical ...

Researchers at University of Galway have developed a way of bioprinting tissues that change shape as a result of cell-generated forces, in the same way that it happens in biological tissues during ...

Shanghai researchers engineer biological pacemaker that could offer a new way to control abnormal heart rhythms Scientists in Shanghai have used stem cells to create the world's first laboratory-grown ...
