Ogle Lab creates 3D-bioprinted patch to help heal scarred heart tissue

April 14, 2017 — A research team led by Professor Brenda Ogle has created a revolutionary 3D-bioprinted patch that can help heal scarred heart tissue after a heart attack. The discovery is a major step forward in treating patients with tissue damage after a heart attack.

The study, “Myocardial Tissue Engineering With Cells Derived from Human Induced-Pluripotent Stem Cells and a Native-Like, High-Resolution, 3-Dimensionally Printed Scaffold,” was published today in Circulation Research. It was featured in the news on KSTP and KARE-11.
