Bioengineered hearts come closer to reality
The article discusses research done by the University of Michigan on growing bioengineered heart muscle, or BEHM, with organized cells, able to generate pulsating forces and reacting more like real muscle. They found a way to create muscle much faster by using a fibrin gell to support rat cardiac cells, before the fibrin breaks down as the cell organizes into tissue. They found that this method produced a more cohesive tissue that contracted with more force than any other artificial tissue reported by other researchers. The research shows promise in using BEHM as a treatment option.
