Science Astounding 3D-printed human heart model cuts and sutures like the real thing The full-size, life-like model could give surgeons a chance to practice their life-saving skills.

UTSA and SwRI are collaborating to create a computer model of the tubular structures in the human heart as part of a larger effort to develop a new, potentially life-saving heart surgery. These ...

A team led by researchers at UNC-Chapel Hill have developed an innovative computer model of blood flow in the human heart that promises to transform how we understand, diagnose, and treat heart ...

It took about three hours to print the whole heart. Making a human heart model is a major medical breakthrough. However, the printed heart is approximately 100 times smaller than a real human heart.

Research from a collaborative team of biomedical engineers, physicians and scientists could enable significant advances for the 40,000 pediatric congenital heart disease patients (CHD) born each year.

Heart disease kills 18 million people each year, but the development of new therapies faces a bottleneck: no physiological model of the entire human heart exists -- so far. A new multi-chamber ...
