Researchers from The University of Technology Sydney (UTS,Sydney,Australia; www.uts.edu.au) have demonstrated the potential of bio-engineered heart tissues in promoting the safe and effective recovery of patients recovering from the damage due to an extensive heart attack.

The cutting-edge technology fabricates personalized‘bio-inks’ utilizing stem cells obtained from a patient's body. These“bio-inks” are subsequently utilized for 3D-printing cardiac tissues to repair the regions affected by dead tissues resulting from a heart attack.

Further testing for the long term effects of this technology are underway before it enters cilnical trials.
