Freelance writer Amanda C. Kooser covers gadgets and tech news with a twist for CNET. When not wallowing in weird gear and iPad apps for cats, she can be found tinkering with her 1956 DeSoto. It looks ...

Researchers have made a significant breakthrough in how surgeons and physicians can practice for heart surgeries and study other conditions by achieving the first full-size 3D-printed biomodel of the ...

If you were planning to perform open-heart surgery on someone, it would definitely help if you could first do a "dry run" on an exact replica of their heart. Doing so may soon be possible, thanks to a ...

Researchers at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (IMBA) have used human pluripotent stem cells to grow sesame seed-sized heart organoids, called cardioids, ...

Michigan State University scientists have used human stem cells to create what might be the world's first miniature heart model for the study of congenital heart defects and cardiovascular disease.

Biologists have used human pluripotent stem cells to grow sesame-seed-sized heart models, called cardioids, that spontaneously self-organize to develop a hollow chamber without the need of ...

Using models derived from human cells and tissues, called in vitro models, researchers designed a 3D organoid model that mimics how the human heart develops. The researchers saw how exposure to low ...

It’s pretty wild how much 3D printing is changing things in hospitals and doctor’s offices these days. What used to be ...
