These findings come after many years of research into the topic, with e.g. Zihan Wang and colleagues in a 2021 paper reporting on the challenges remaining with 3D printing cardiac tissue, yet also ...

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.

Using stem cell-derived heart muscle cells to advance heart regenerative therapy Researchers showcase an innovative strategy for regenerative heart therapy in a primate model, paving the way to ...

As she experimented with more printing directions and ink formulas, she found she could generate even stronger contractions within ventricle-like shapes. "Compared to the real heart, our ventricle ...

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 vitro ...

Researchers have identified a crucial growth factor, BMP7, capable of stimulating cardiac muscle cell proliferation and regeneration, potentially offering new treatments for heart injuries.

Regenerative heart therapies involve transplanting cardiac muscle cells into damaged areas of the heart to recover lost function. However, the risk of arrhythmias following this procedure is ...
