MSU researchers grow first functioning mini human heart model

Michigan State University researchers have created, for the first time, a miniature human heart model in the laboratory, complete with all primary heart cell types and a functioning structure of chambers and vascular tissue. The human heart organoids were created by way of a novel stem cell framework that mimics the embryonic and fetal developmental environments.
