Some day, heart attack survivors might have a patch of laboratory-grown muscle placed in their heart, and children born with defective heart valves might get new ones that can grow in place. But while ...

The law kept tripping up Sunset Park’s robot maker. I Heart Engineering, the manufacturers of open source turtlebots, shut down in May of this year, about one year after the company merged with Sameer ...

A new biomanufacturing method for constructing 3D scaffolds composed of narrow fibers with specific alignments has been developed. The method, called focused rotary jet spinning (FRJS), is enabling ...

The human heart is an engineering marvel, an efficient machine that beats an average of between 60 and 100 times per minute in healthy adults. That’s equivalent to between 86,000 and 144,000 ...

The American Heart Association’s numbers are so staggering that they seem implausible—10 million Americans visit an ER with heart attack symptoms each year; 90 percent of out-of-hospital cardiac ...

Researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology are developing technology that will be able to determine the lifespan of a heart valve with more precision. “It’s almost like a check engine light on ...

Over 5 million Americans have heart valve disease (HVD), which can lead to heart failure, stroke, blood clots, and even death. HVD occurs when one or more of the four valves of the heart does not work ...

An engineer has created a 3D model of the human heart, inspired by his daughter’s heart condition, with the goal of creating a library of virtual hearts for researchers to use whenever they want.

Echocardiograms of two baby hearts show a normal heart (left image) with typically sized left and right ventricles (LV and RV). The heart on the right shows Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome with a left ...

Tissue engineering of heart valves represents a transformative approach to addressing the limitations of conventional prostheses, which are often associated with thrombosis, calcification, and lack of ...
