Washington State University researchers have developed a 3D-printed model of the left side of the heart that contracts and beats, offering the chance for surgeons and medical students to rehearse ...

"The model is made from flexible materials and powered by artificial muscles that are arranged to mimic the layered muscle architecture of the human heart," Dr James Davies, a postdoc in Do's group, ...

Re-creating the beating heart The model developed at UNSW is a soft, flexible replica of the left side of the heart. Silicone membranes form the internal chambers, while soft robotic artificial ...

University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers, led by Jianyi “Jay” Zhang, M.D., Ph.D., and Lei Ye, M.D., Ph.D., generated the human leukocyte antigen-knockout ...

Heart rates are easier to monitor today than ever before. Thanks to smartwatches that can sense a pulse, all it takes is a quick flip of the wrist to check your heart. But monitoring the cells ...

A new robotic heart can recreate different stages of heart failure, potentially giving researchers a new way to test ...

A broken heart will mend over time. However, this isn’t the case for heart tissue following a heart attack. While skin and many other tissues of the body retain the ability to repair themselves after ...

UNSW researchers have developed a soft robotic model of the human heart that can mimic disease and provide a realistic environment for testing the next generation of cardiac devices Researchers at ...
