World's First 3D Printed Hearts And Functional Beating Hearts Grown From Stem Cells
That means almost 50% of the people needing a new heart to keep them alive won't get it. But now, scientists from Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School have successfully grown a human heart from adult skin cells in a lab. In addition, researchers from Tel Aviv University have "printed" the world's first 3D vascularized engineered heart using a patient's own cells and biological materials. Their research may someday soon solve the shortage problem of hearts the world faces today.
