A novel form of 3D printing, dubbed melt electrowriting, has been used by researchers to produce scaffolds for artificial heart valves that mimic the different biomechanical properties of heart valve ...

Valve replacement and repair are the only methods of managing severe valvular heart disease, but both often require repeated surgeries that are expensive, disruptive, and life-threatening. Most ...

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and Emory University have developed a 3D-printed heart valve made of a bioresorbable polymer. Most heart valve implants currently are ...

Heart valve disease has no effective long-term treatment, and people who suffer from it have to endure repeated, invasive surgeries throughout their lives to survive. Researchers at Georgia Tech and ...

Researchers have developed 3D printed artificial heart valves designed to allow a patient’s own cells to form new tissue. To form these scaffolds using melt electrowriting – an advanced additive ...

Additive manufacturing technology has been used to produce patient-specific heart-valve models. The research project led by the Complex Materials Group at ETH Zurich used medical-grade polysiloxanes ...

ZURICH, Switzerland—Researchers at ETH Zurich, a science and technology university in Zurich, are collaborating with South African company Strait Access Technologies to 3D print custom-made artificial ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking process for multi-material 3D printing of lifelike models of the heart's aortic valve and the surrounding structures that mimic the exact look and feel of a ...

Georgia Tech researchers have developed a groundbreaking 3D-printed, bioresorbable heart valve that promotes tissue regeneration, potentially eliminating the need for repeated surgeries and offering a ...

To some extent, bioprinting has what they call in Texas an “all hat, no cattle” problem. The process and its products both tend to grab the eye, but the practical applications have so far been limited ...
