Scientists from ETH Zurich have 3D printed a special patch that can integrate into existing heart tissue to help repair ...

The problem with scar tissue on the heart is the fact that, unlike regular cardiac muscle tissue, it can't expand and contract. This means that the heart as a whole likewise can't expand and ...

The team developed a 3D-printed heart patch for intraventricular implantation to serve as an alternative to the bovine ...

Mount Sinai's Cardiovascular Research Institute is sending bioengineered human heart muscle cells and micro-tissues into space for the first time on NASA's 29th SpaceX commercial resupply services ...

A heart attack cuts off blood flow and oxygen to heart tissue. This can damage muscle and, in severe cases, cause the heart ...

After someone has suffered a heart attack, their body replaces the damaged heart muscle tissue with non-beating scar tissue, compromising the heart's function. A new injectable biomaterial ...

Your heart muscle requires adequate protein to maintain its structure and function. During extreme weight loss, your body may begin breaking down muscle tissue, including heart muscle, to meet its ...

A new type of tissue-engineered cardiac patch could not only seal defective areas of the heart, as has been the case up to now, but also heal them. An interdisciplinary team led by ETH Zurich has ...
