Study in a Sentence: A review of human heart models—cardiac organoids and organ chips—showed that each method has unique advantages in different research contexts, including cardiac disease modeling ...

Researchers 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 organ development. The ...

The models can be used to plan surgeries and in the future could be used to help trial new drugs. A healthy heart beats at a steady rate, between 60 and 100 times a minute. That’s not the case for all ...
