Israeli scientists create world's first 3D-printed heart using human cells. - NBCNewsMACH
The heart doesn't beat and is too small for use in people — it's only about the size of a rabbit's heart. But the little organ is considered a big advance in the ongoing effort to find new treatments forHeart transplantation is currently the only good option for people with severe heart failure. Butthat, on average, 18 Americans die each day before one becomes available. Being able to 3D-print a human heart when needed could conceivably help save many lives that are now lost.
A 3D printer builds a heart with human tissue during a presentation at the University of Tel Aviv on April 15.was published Monday in the journal Advanced Science. Tal said the next step for his team would be to explore ways to"teach" 3D-printed hearts to function normally and then transplant them into rats to see how well they work. The scientists will also explore the feasibility of 3D-printing larger hearts, with the ultimate goal of building functional human hearts.
