Researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology are developing technology that will be able to determine the lifespan of a heart valve with more precision. “It’s almost like a check engine light on ...

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 ...

Children born with diseased heart valves must undergo surgery to repair or replace the damaged tissues. Although tissue engineering holds much promise in the long-term treatment of these pediatric ...

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 ...

Recent advances in stem cell technologies, synthetic development and organoid biology are enabling us to create more accurate in vitro models of human organs. Here we will discuss methods to generate ...
