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 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 ...

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

3D printing skin, bone, and even working organs could change transplant medicine and medical research — but how, exactly, does one “print” a heart or liver?

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 ...
