An interdisciplinary team of researchers has developed a virtual 3D heart, digitally showcasing the heart's unique network of neurons for the first time. Using the rat heart as a model, the ...

The first full-size 3D bioprinted human heart model has been created by Professor of Biomedical Engineering Adam Feinberg and his team. The findings of the study are published in ACS Biomaterials ...

Congenital heart experts have successfully integrated two common imaging techniques to produce a three-dimensional anatomic model of a patient's heart. This is the first time the integration of ...

Researchers led by University of Auckland Bioengineering Department Professor Martyn Nash have created a 3D, touch-screen model - now on display at MOTAT - illustrating how different diseases affect ...

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 ...

If you were planning to perform open-heart surgery on someone, it would definitely help if you could first do a "dry run" on an exact replica of their heart. Doing so may soon be possible, thanks to a ...

Three-year-old cardiac patient Fatima holds a 3D model of her own heart Children's cardiac surgery has been revolutionised by the development of 3D-printed models of patients' hearts, a leading ...

In the U.S., someone has a heart attack every 40 seconds, and yet researchers have not had a model that fully mimics what occurs in the human heart after a heart attack. A team of investigators at the ...

You don’t exactly get a trial run when it comes to heart surgery, but with the advent of modern medicine and its intersection with some pretty snazzy modern technology, doctors are getting the next ...

Surgeons carried out successful surgery on a baby ’s heart after practising on a 3D model of it. Pippa Fulton was born a month prematurely, weighing just 4.5lbs (2kg) and with several heart conditions ...
