Scientists have created images of the heart's muscular layer that show, for the first time, the connection between the configuration of those muscles and the way the human heart contracts. More ...

Scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have created images of the heart's muscular layer that show, for the first time, the connection between the configuration of those ...

Using a new type of additive manufacturing called focused rotary jet spinning (FRJS) enabled researchers to make three-dimensional helically aligned biohybrid models of human heart tissue. Not only do ...

Video presentation of Paco Torrent-Guasp's groundbreaking discovery of The Helical Heart. This new understanding of heart structure reveals how the helical heart muscle causes normal and abnormal ...

This includes recreating helical geometries, which create a twisting motion as the heart beats. It's been long theorized that this twisting motion is critical for pumping blood at high volumes, but ...

The first biohybrid model of human ventricles has been used to answer a centuries-old question. Unlike other organs, the heart cannot repair itself after injury, so being able to engineer an entire ...

PASADENA, Calif.--Scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have created images of the heart's muscular layer that show, for the first time, the connection between the ...
