Miniature human heart has potential to reshape drug testing
Drug Discovery World
AUGUST 16, 2023
A tiny human heart model could potentially transform cardiovascular research and enable animal-free drug testing. A team of researchers, led by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HU), has developed a self-paced, multi-chambered human heart model, approximately half the size of a rice grain. “Integrating our complex human heart model with sensors allowed us to monitor critical physiological parameters in real-time, revealing intricate mitochondrial dynamics that drive cardiac rhythms,” sai
