An engineer has created a 3D model of the human heart, inspired by his daughter’s heart condition, with the goal of creating a library of virtual hearts for researchers to use whenever they want.

The bioengineered model uses a nanofiber scaffold tissue that is seeded with human heart cells. Acting as a 3D template, the scaffold guides the heart cells and their assembly into ventricle chambers, ...

Science Astounding 3D-printed human heart model cuts and sutures like the real thing The full-size, life-like model could give surgeons a chance to practice their life-saving skills.

In addition, this team hopes to eventually “cellularize” the printed heart, or add human heart muscle cells to the structure, to make it beat like the real thing.

In a small, windowless room at Toronto General Hospital, a bank of seven 3D printers runs day and night, patiently laying down layer after layer of coloured plastic. When the printing is done, the ...

For the first time in recorded history, scientists have created a working, vascularized engineered heart using human cells by printing it in 3D.

Several companies have attempted to create usable 3D models of the heart. There are versions that recreate the exterior of the heart, and others that are in prototype.

A unique prosthetic human heart, so realistic it can be operated on, is made using a 3D printer.

Scientists at Israel's Tel Aviv University say they've created the world's first complete 3D-printed heart using bioink made from human cells.

Researchers have developed a three-dimensional model that shows how exposure to cadmium might lead to congenital heart disease. Affecting nearly 40,000 newborns a year, congenital heart disease is ...

In a groundbreaking new study, researchers have 3D printed a functioning centimeter-scale human heart pump in the lab. The discovery could have major implications for studying heart disease, the ...
