Matters of the heart can be complicated, but York University scientists have found a way to create 3D heart tissue that beats in synchronized harmony, like a heart in love, that will l

ead to better understanding of cardiac health and improved treatments. York U chemistry Professor Muhammad Yousaf and his team of grad students have devised a way to stick 3 different types of cardiac cells together, like Velcro, to make heart tissue that beats as one.

Until now, most 2D and 3D in vitro tissue d...
