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

The heart wall can rupture in severe cases, requiring immediate surgical intervention. Currently, bovine pericardial patches, ...

Scientists from ETH Zurich have 3D printed a special patch that can integrate into existing heart tissue to help repair ...

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

ETH Zurich researchers 3D print heart patch using a hydrogel populated with heart muscle cells. It has already been implanted in animals.

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 new small study led by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers and published July 25th in the journal Nature Cardiovascular Research has revealed the impact of obesity on muscle structure in patients ...

Non-invasive assessment of explanted cardiac grafts remains challenging as there is no ideal approach established. Ex situ assessment mostly relies on qualitative interpretation of surgeon based on ...

A novel hydrogel-based platform uses a limited number of cells for tissue generation and offers unique advantages for high-throughput cardiac tissue culture.

Here, we report the development of a novel assay which allows fast, reproducible and high-throughput generation of 3D cardiac rings in a 96-well plate using hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes. The design ...
