No two hearts beat alike. The size and shape of the the heart can vary from one person to the next. These differences can be particularly pronounced for people living with heart disease, as their ...

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and Emory University have developed a 3D-printed heart valve made of a bioresorbable polymer. Most heart valve implants currently are ...

Washington State University researchers have built a 3D-printed model of the left side of the heart that contracts and relaxes to simulate a real heartbeat, complete with embedded sensors and ...

What makes a body’s organs into what they are is more than just a grouping of specialized cells. They also need to be oriented and attached to each other and scaffolding in order to create structures ...

Researchers have 3D-printed a heart model that mimics the complex movements of the left side of the heart. This model includes atrium, ventricle, and mitral valve, offering surgeons a realistic ...

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, ...

Andy Altman covered all things science and tech. He led production on CNET's award-winning limited documentary series Hacking the Apocalypse. He also created and co-hosted our video series What the ...

According to recent news from IT Home, a team of scientists at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany has accomplished a remarkable feat in the field of 3D printing technology. As reported by ...

Over the last decade, advances in 3D printing have unlocked new possibilities for bioengineers to build heart tissues and structures. Their goals include creating better in vitro platforms for ...
