Organ Biofabrication Breakthrough Could Pave Way for Artificial Bioengineered Hearts

Bioengineers have developed the first biohybrid model of human ventricles with helically aligned beating cardiac cells, and have shown that muscle alignment does, in fact, dramatically increases how much blood the ventricle can pump with each contraction. More...

Thromboelastometry System Enables Rapid Assessment of Critical Bleeding at POC

For a clear picture of coagulopathy, a novel thromboelastometry system provides at-a-glance assessment of clot firmness and stability, enabling hemostasis optimization, while minimizing blood loss. The result is a reduction in inappropriate transfusions, associated complications and cost—all essential to a successful patient blood management (PBM) program. More...
