How to Make Human Hearts, Lungs, and Guts Using Only Paper Using white card stock, scissors and some glue, Horst Kiechle created an anatomically-correct model of the human torso with removable organs.

The bioengineered model uses a nanofiber scaffold tissue that is seeded with human heart cells. Acting as a 3D template, the scaffold guides the heart cells and their assembly into ventricle chambers, ...

Researchers hope human cardioid platform will enable development of mature, complex heart models for drug discovery and regenerative medicine research.

Bioengineers have developed the first biohybrid model of human ventricles with helically aligned beating cardiac cells, and have shown that muscle alignment dramatically increases how much blood the ...
