Miniature-sized heart chambers called ventricles have been 3D printed with live human heart muscle cells and shown to beat on their own for at least three months.

Researchers at Tel Aviv University managed to successfully print the first ever 3D heart that uses cells and biological materials from a patient. The medical breakthrough, which was published ...

bioprinting technology; bioink (living cells that allow 3D printers to produce complex tissue models) patient-derived cardiomyocytes (cardiac muscle cells) ...

Harvard stem cell biologists have pioneered a groundbreaking 3D organoid culture method for generating large numbers of adult skeletal muscle satellite cells, also known as muscle stem cells, in ...

Aisha Al-Janabi, our Assistant Editor, explores recent cardiovascular disease research, including developing heart organoids with vascular cells, launching cardiac chips to the International Space ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A synthetic peptide based on the protein S100A1 has been developed to address acute heart muscle weakness. This peptide, derived from a specific section of ...

Cardiac muscle tissue gets its strength and flexibility from its interconnected cardiac muscle cells, or fibers. Most cardiac muscle cells contain one nucleus, but some have two. The nucleus ...

Developed by the laboratory over more than a decade, the hydrogel environment provides the cues to grow and mature cells into adult-like heart muscle tissues, where cell division naturally stops.

Biolife4D’s iPS cells can then be converted to heart cells and used as “bioink” in a 3D printer. Recently, this technique was used to 3D print a semi-functioning miniature human heart.

Researchers would reprogram these stem cells to heart muscle cells and then use specialized 3D printers to print them within a three-dimensional structure, called an extracellular matrix. The problem ...
