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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have developed a polymeric biohybrid cardiac device that harnesses the ...

University of Toronto Engineering researchers have grown a small-scale model of a human left heart ventricle in the lab. The bioartificial tissue construct is made with living heart cells and beats ...

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 ...

“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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
