Scientists study the underlying causes of a disease or test new potential drugs in animal models or cells obtained from human biopsy specimens before clinical trials. However, disease models in ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto's Institute of Biomedical Engineering have developed a new method to mature lab-grown heart cells, so they more closely resemble adult human heart tissue. By ...

A patient’s cells are revealing new clues about a serious heart condition—and could reshape how scientists test treatments.

A team from the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Center (The Institute) have created a three-dimensional, beating heart-on-a-chip, or "mini-heart," using blood cells from a patient ...

MSU researchers have created the first human heart-like “organoids” that enable the study of atrial fibrillation, or A-fib. The models also enable new ways of evaluating heart development, diseases ...

Scientists are using small, laboratory-grown heart tissues to investigate why strenuous exercise can temporarily change heart ...

It seems like organized chaos. Five lab members move around a room the size of a galley kitchen. On this day, three high school students also squeeze into the medical lab, closely peering at a pig ...
