New method matures lab-grown heart cells for better research

Researchers at the University of Toronto's Institute of Biomedical Engineering have developed a new method to mature lab-grown heart cells, so they more closely resemble adult human heart tissue.

University of Toronto Scientists Advance Maturity of Lab-Grown Heart Cells

Scientists at the University of Toronto’s Institute of Biomedical Engineering have broken new ground in the field of cardiac tissue engineering by devising a sophisticated method to mature lab-grown heart cells. This development significantly advances the capability to produce in vitro heart cells that closely emulate the structural and functional characteristics of adult human heart […]
