Researchers at University of Galway have developed a way of bioprinting tissues that change shape as a result of cell-generated forces, in the same way that it happens in biological tissues during ...

A team of scientists from Harvard Medical School and Duke University has created a new kind of tissue that can change heart activity using only light—no wires, no surgery, no harm. This groundbreaking ...

The team created a thin patch of lab-grown heart tissue using reprogrammed adult stem cells. The patch can be folded and ...

A heart attack cuts off blood flow and oxygen to heart tissue. This can damage muscle and, in severe cases, cause the heart wall to rupture. Surgeons often repair these defects with patches made from ...

MIT engineers have developed a flexible drug-delivery patch that can be placed on the heart after a heart attack to help ...

For decades cardiologists have had to accept that a damaged heart stays damaged. Once a heart attack kills off muscle cells, ...
