Researchers in China have developed a 3D organoid of the sinoatrial node, the heart's natural pacemaker, using human pluripotent stem cells. This self-beating model, connected to an artificial neural network, mimics human heart rhythm and opens doors for studying cardiac arrhythmias and developing biological pacemakers.
Scientists in Shanghai have developed the first laboratory-grown sinoatrial node using stem cells. This organoid, capable of autonomous beating, represents a breakthrough for cardiac disease research and drug screening, potentially offering a new treatment for abnormal heart rhythms.
A 4-year-old boy in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, has become the youngest patient in the country to receive a leadless pacemaker. The procedure at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital offers new hope for treating children with complex congenital heart conditions.
