China develops lab-grown heart tissue as potential alternative to electronic pacemakers
SMRTR summary
Scientists in Shanghai grew lab-made heart tissue that mimics the body's natural pacemaker, using human stem cells to create a 3D organoid that produces electrical impulses. Successfully linked to an artificial nerve network, this breakthrough could eventually replace traditional electronic pacemakers, which have been used for over 50 years.
