A man has lived for more than 100 days with an artificial maglev heart working inside his chest becoming the first person in the world to leave the hospital with such a device.

Unlike synthetic models, this heart was printed with actual biological tissue from a patient’s own cells. Could this be the beginning of lab-grown, on-demand human organs?!

But to their knowledge, this is the first study that has tested gene therapy on a heart disease model in non-human primates. The team also believes that this approach may be particularly effective for ...

The breakthrough science focused on replicating heart tissues, bringing research closer to generating functional, bioprinted organs, which would have broad applications in disease modelling, drug ...

This computer model of the human heart show how electrical signals pass through heart tissue. The model was created by Marina Strocchi, who works with Steven Niederer at Imperial College London.

Robert Jarvik, who developed the first artificial heart to be permanently implanted in a human — a breakthrough that captured the world’s imagination even as it triggered debates about medical ...
