"We now observed this fundamental process in a human heart model for the first time ... comprising all regions of the developing heart working in a coordinated manner -- so far," Mendjan adds.

For example, the tiny heart model is critical for studying the human organ’s physiology ... It’s a function of how much the heart is working. The more it works, the more it needs glucose ...

Within the human heart are numerous small muscle bundles called ... inner structures will help Han to create a realistic anatomical model of the trabeculae carneae. Han has also been working with ...

Moving forward, Burridge and his collaborators will continue to optimize the model to match human heart muscle cells as closely as possible, he said, and potentially reduce the need for animal ...

A “ghost heart” grown with scaffolding from a pig’s organ and human cells may soon be used ... rid a rat’s heart of cells and started working with the translucent skeleton left behind.

Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham now show a way to significantly cut the time needed for that analysis while utilizing more of the heart region, using deep learning and ...
