In the laboratory, scientists were able to grow a real human heart using stem cells for this.. They were obtained from fragments of human skin.

The heart is small and is a miniature copy of a real heart.. It completely mimics the contraction of the heart muscle.. Conducting a laboratory study allowed scientists to understand exactly how one of the most important human organs develops and forms..

In the future, this will undoubtedly allow the development of drugs to treat severe pathologies of the development of the heart..

Among other things, it is possible to perform an analysis of the development of a disease of the human cardiovascular system. Scientists have high hopes for this success.

This will help in the future to create a full-fledged artificial heart and save the lives of thousands of people.. It took about 20 days to grow a heart. The heart rate was about 50 beats per minute. According to experts, in five years they will be able to grow hearts suitable for transplantation.

Previously, experts learned how to regenerate teeth using stem cells..
