Engineers developed a procedure to 3D print a soft and flexible replica of a patient's heart. These models could help doctors tailor treatments, such as aortic valves, to an individual patient. No two ...

Now, Georgia Tech researchers have created a 3D-printed heart valve made of bioresorbable materials and designed to fit an individual patient's unique anatomy. Once implanted, the valves will be ...

Andy Altman covered all things science and tech. He led production on CNET's award-winning limited documentary series Hacking the Apocalypse. He also created and co-hosted our video series What the ...

MIT engineers are 3D printing replicas of patients’ hearts in an attempt to improve replacement valve procedures for those living with heart disease. Scientists are creating custom robotic hearts that ...

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and Emory University have developed a 3D-printed heart valve made of a bioresorbable polymer. Most heart valve implants currently are ...

Heart valve disease has no effective long-term treatment, and people who suffer from it have to endure repeated, invasive surgeries throughout their lives to survive. Researchers at Georgia Tech and ...

Researchers at the Nora Eccles Harrison Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute, University of Utah, and the University of Utah School of Medicine, have demonstrated that a gene therapy can ...

Your heart is a muscular organ that helps circulate your blood, which delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues. There are four chambers and four valves in your heart, and each ensures proper ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

Ageing affects every part of the human body, including the heart—but a groundbreaking study published in Nature Materials suggests the heart's ageing process might be reversible. Instead of altering ...
