Our hearts are primarily controlled by the brain and autonomic nervous system, but we also have a backup. The heart has its own mini-brain called the intracardiac nervous system (ICN), which fine ...

Dr. SchwaberThomas Jefferson UniversityNews-Medical spoke to Dr. Vadigepalli and Dr. Schwaber about their groundbreaking research in which they managed to map the neurons in the heart. We have been ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have engineered the world’s first perfectly functioning, immunologically, cellular, biochemically and anatomically matched 3D printed heart. The heart is ...

Researchers have published a new 3D bioprinting method that brings the field of tissue engineering one step closer to being able to 3D print a full-sized, adult human heart. A team of researchers from ...

Engineers developed a procedure to 3D print a soft and flexible replica of a patient's heart. These models could help doctors tailor treatments, such as aortic valves, to an individual patient. No two ...

The dream of being able to 3D print human heart tissue is a big step closer, with a breakthrough by scientists at Sydney's Heart Research Institute (HRI). Scientist hope the mini hearts can replace ...

What do researchers do after they 3D-print a heart with human tissue and vessels, in a development described as a “major medical breakthrough” that advances possibilities for transplants? Do they pop ...
