Israeli scientists unveil first 3D printed heart with human tissue, vessels
Scientists in Israel unveiled a 3D printed heart with human tissue and vessels, calling it a first and a “major medical breakthrough” that advances possibilities for transplants.
The heart, about the size of a rabbit’s, marked “the first time anyone anywhere has successfully engineered and printed an entire heart replete with cells, blood vessels, ventricles and chambers,” says Tal Dvir, who led the project.
