Cardiovascular Reparative Medicine and Tissue Engineering (CRMTE) aims to develop future technologies and therapeutic strategies that will serve as treatment for cardiovascular disease. CRMTE includes ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have developed a new way to measure heart contraction and electrical activity in engineered human heart tissues, according to findings published in Science Advances.

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers are collaborating with NASA to send human heart "tissue-on-a-chip" specimens into space. The project is designed to monitor the tissue for changes in heart muscle ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists who arranged for 48 human bioengineered heart tissue samples to spend 30 days at the International Space Station report evidence that the low gravity conditions in ...

A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, resulting in 18 million deaths per year. These numbers are expected to increase in coming years because ...

Children born with diseased heart valves must undergo surgery to repair or replace the damaged tissues. Although tissue engineering holds much promise in the long-term treatment of these pediatric ...

“Any patches that are not replaced by healthy tissue prior to their degradation will inevitably fail and lead to long-term complications.” Engineering myocardial tissue presents some unique challenges ...

The University of Akron's BETA Lab received a grant from the American Heart Association to help develop new, less invasive heart valve implants.

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers are collaborating with NASA to send human heart “tissue-on-a-chip” specimens into space as early as March. The project is designed to monitor the tissue for changes ...
