Science Astounding 3D-printed human heart model cuts and sutures like the real thing The full-size, life-like model could give surgeons a chance to practice their life-saving skills.

Surgeons will soon have a powerful new tool for planning and practice with the creation of the first full-sized 3D bioprinted model of the human heart.

The finished 3D-printed item is claimed to mimic the elasticity of a real human heart, and can be cut and sutured in a similar manner.

In addition, this team hopes to eventually “cellularize” the printed heart, or add human heart muscle cells to the structure, to make it beat like the real thing.

A team of researchers from Michigan State University has created a miniature human heart model in the laboratory. For the first time in history, this mode is complete with all primary heart cell ...

Researchers hope human cardioid platform will enable development of mature, complex heart models for drug discovery and regenerative medicine research.

Researchers have developed a three-dimensional model that shows how exposure to cadmium might lead to congenital heart disease. Affecting nearly 40,000 newborns a year, congenital heart disease is ...

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 ...

Heart disease kills 18 million people each year, but the development of new therapies faces a bottleneck: no physiological model of the entire human heart exists – so far.

Adolf Ziegler (1820-1889) opened an Atelier für wissenschaftliche Unterrichtsmodelle (Studio for Scientific Teaching Models) in Leipzig in the 1860s. His son, Friedrich Ziegler (d. 1936) continued the ...
