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 ...

Millions of people live with atrial fibrillation, a racing, uneven heartbeat that can leave you exhausted and scared. Yet it ...

Tissue engineering of heart valves represents a transformative approach to addressing the limitations of conventional prostheses, which are often associated with thrombosis, calcification, and lack of ...

“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 ...

Structural alignment in fibrous tissues like myocardium and tendons is a key biomarker of physiological integrity and ...

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 ...

Organ failure impacts millions of patients each year and costs hundreds of billions of US Dollars. Over the last 30 years, scientists have utilized a combination of tools, methods, and molecules of ...

Researchers from the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University say they have developed a new method of bioprinting physiological materials. Called TRACE (Tunable Rapid Assembly of ...

An enduring challenge for bioengineering researchers is the failure of the heart to regenerate muscle tissue after a heart attack has killed part of its muscle wall. That dead tissue can strain the ...
