Shanghai scientists engineer biological pacemaker from stem cells

Scientists in Shanghai have successfully engineered the world's first laboratory-grown sinoatrial node, the heart's natural pacemaker, using human pluripotent stem cells. This biological pacemaker organoid is capable of autonomous beating and represents a significant breakthrough for cardiac disease research and drug screening. The development offers a potential new method for controlling abnormal heart rhythms. AI

    Chinese scientists grow heart’s ‘master conductor’ that could replace pacemaker

    Scientists in Shanghai have used stem cells to create the world’s first laboratory-grown sinoatrial node – the tiny structure that acts as the heart’s natural pacemaker. Capable of beating autonomously, the organoid is a breakthrough that researchers say could transform cardiac d…
