Many promising therapies fail because preclinical models do not fully capture the complexity of the human heart. A new review ...

Researchers from UCL (University College London) and the ESRF (The European Synchrotron) have produced the first ...

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 ...

Heart disease remains a primary cause of illness and mortality around the world. While minimally invasive procedures have improved cardiac care, the heart’s complex anatomy and constant motion require ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

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 ...
