Headed by Sasha Mendjan, PhD, the IMBA team reported on their development in Cell, in a paper titled, “Multi-chamber cardioids unravel human heart development and cardiac defects.” ...

Miniature-sized heart chambers called ventricles have been 3D printed with live human heart muscle cells and shown to beat on their own for at least three months.

In 2021, the Mendjan lab presented the first chamber-like organoid heart model formed from human induced pluripotent stem cells. These self-organizing heart organoids, or Cardioids, recapitulated the ...

Join Dr. Rohin Francis in this compelling keynote, "A History of the Heart in 4 Chambers", delivered for the University of Melbourne Medical School. In this talk, he weaves the story of medicine ...

Heart tissues within one of the launch-ready chambers Jonathan Tsui. A few years ... He toted compact chambers—smaller than a cell phone—containing 48 bits of human heart tissue.

Researchers have created a heart organoid containing both cardiomyocytes and epicardium for the first time. The human heart starts forming in the first 3 weeks of conception. As women are often not ...

A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has induced stem cells to emulate the development of the human heart. The result is a sort of "mini-heart" known as an organoid. It will permit ...
