Tiny Beating Hearts Developed by Stem Cells Could Provide Insight Into Congenital Defects

[cafead]

via A team of scientists at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna has recently assembled stem cells in a dish that has grown into tiny heart organoids the size of sesame seeds. The tiny heart organoids, dubbed “cardioids,” even begun beating similarly as real miniature hearts, making them the most realistic heart organoids developed to date. The development process of these heart organoids was published online in the journal Cell.
