Designing blood vessels for 3D printed hearts
Science & EngineeringResearch
Stanford researchers have developed a faster, more precise way to model and print vascular systems, solving a critical challenge in fabricating transplantable organs from patients’ own cells.

Creation of vascularized mini-organs marks milestone in regenerative medicine
Health & MedicineResearch
Stanford researchers have created the first lab-grown heart and liver organoids with their own blood vessels, paving the way for new regenerative therapies.

A game-changing way to treat stroke
Science & EngineeringResearch
Researchers at Stanford have developed a new technology for removing blood clots that is more than twice as effective as current techniques. It could significantly improve success rates in treating strokes, heart attacks, pulmonary embolisms, and other clot-related diseases.
