A team of researchers have developed a 3D-printed, biodegradable heart patch that seals holes in heart tissue and supports tissue regeneration, showing promise as a safer alternative to current ...

Functional heart muscle regenerated in decellularized human hearts Mass. General team generates stem-cell derived heart muscle in cell-free human cardiac matrix Peer-Reviewed Publication ...

The team developed a 3D-printed heart patch for intraventricular implantation to serve as an alternative to the bovine ...

And beating away in one corner, the muscle cells that make heart tissue contract, cardiomyocytes, made using stem cell technology. “They’re generated using induced pluripotent stem cells,” says ...

The problem with scar tissue on the heart is the fact that, unlike regular cardiac muscle tissue, it can't expand and contract. This means that the heart as a whole likewise can't expand and ...

A new type of tissue-engineered cardiac patch could not only seal defective areas of the heart, as has been the case up to now, but also heal them. An interdisciplinary team led by ETH Zurich has ...

A heart attack cuts off blood flow and oxygen to heart tissue. This can damage muscle and, in severe cases, cause the heart ...

Cardiac failure is a critical condition that results in life-threatening consequences. Due to a limited number of organ donors, tissue engineering has emerged to generate functional tissue ...
