The tissue is engineered with a nanofiber scaffold seeded with human heart cells. The scaffold acts like a 3D template, guiding the cells and their assembly into ventricle chambers that beat in vitro.

The mini-heart is a 3D engineered, living miniature human heart chamber designed to mimic the pumping function of the human heart. It's a single-chamber organoid model that’s about a centimeter ...

It looks like a human heart. It feels like a human heart. It's "the first full-size 3D bioprinted human heart model," and it could change the way surgeons practice and prepare for patients.

Human organoids provide researchers with unprecedented opportunities, and the findings could lead to drug breakthroughs that may not otherwise happen. For example, the tiny heart model is critical ...

The ‘heart-in-a-jar’ model will be used to effectively test drug candidates for HFpEF patient AstraZeneca (AZ), in collaboration with Novoheart and Medera Biopharmaceuticals, has successfully ...

Drosophila — commonly known as fruit flies — are a valuable model for human heart pathophysiology, including cardiac aging and cardiomyopathy. However, a choke point in evaluating fruit fly hearts is ...
