Engineers can now print three-dimensional replicas of a human heart custom-designed to look and act like an individual patient’s heart. The goal is to provide realistic models so that doctors, ...

A common trope in science fiction, especially cyberpunk fiction, involves custom-grown replacement organs based on the recipient's own flesh. We're not there yet as a species—and in fact still a good ...

In a world-first, scientists at Tel Aviv University have successfully 3D printed a tiny human heart using real human cells. This innovation could reshape the future of organ transplants, offering a ...

Miniature-sized heart chambers called ventricles have been 3D printed with live human heart muscle cells and shown to beat on their own for at least three months. Artificial heart tissue can be made ...

First, they used human pluripotent stem cells to develop 3D embryoid bodies to mimic early steps in tissue and organ formation in humans. They then used a 2D in vitro model that included a fluorescent ...
