HN Summary • Living Heart Tissue Created with Custom 3D Printer Researchers at the Centre for Heart Lung Innovation (HLI), St. Paul’s Hospital, developed an in-house 3D printer that produces living human heart tissue from patient-derived stem cells. This enables highly consistent, reproducible tissue samples that mimic real human heart behavior. • Advancing Drug Testing […] The post Researchers create living heart tissue with a 3D printer for testing new treatments appeared first on Hospital News.
HN Summary • VCHRI researchers have developed a breakthrough implantable Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (FTT-NIRS) sensor that provides real-time monitoring of blood flow and oxygenation in transplanted tissue flaps, enabling earlier detection of vascular compromise after complex head and neck reconstructive surgeries. • The continuous, objective monitoring offered by FTT-NIRS significantly outperforms traditional visual checks, with early […] The post Advanced surgical tissue flap monitoring for early intervention appeared first on Hospital News.
