🚀 Breaking Barriers in Heart Bioengineering: Can We Grow a Functional Heart?

💡 "How is your team maturing iPSCs to create a beating heart?"

For years, skepticism surrounded this approach—it took a decade just to replicate early rat trials in human cells. Why? The tech wasn’t ready.

🔬 The Challenge:
Early bioreactors couldn’t sustain long-term growth. Our engineered hearts needed 60+ days of cultivation, plus electrical & mechanical stimulation to train immature iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes.

⚙ The Breakthrough:
We designed a custom closed bioreactor system to provide:
✔ Long-term support
✔ Precise stimulation (mimicking natural heart conditions)
✔ Controlled cell maturation

🌟 The Future?
Personalized regenerative therapies could be reality in our lifetime—but progress depends on how fast tech evolves. 20 years ago, growing human tissues seemed impossible. Today, iPSCs make it possible.
