Scientists have created the world's first 3D-printed heart. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. In fact, every year it takes approximately 655 thousand lives. That ...

Now, Georgia Tech researchers have created a 3D-printed heart valve made of bioresorbable materials and designed to fit an individual patient’s unique anatomy.

But getting these from the lab to the clinic has been tough because traditional 3D-printed hydrogels tend to either break when stretched, crack under pressure or are too stiff to mold around tissues. ...

A 3D-printed heart valve, made using a biocompatible material called polyglycerol dodecanedioate, was created at Emory and Georgia Tech labs and presented earlier this month.

Stanford researchers have developed a faster, more precise way to model and print vascular systems, solving a critical challenge in fabricating transplantable organs from patients’ own cells.
