Helping the heart to heal itself
Electrical impulses that occur naturally in the heart could one day be used to detect and repair irregular heartbeats known as arrhythmias. Pioneering research led by Daniël Pijnappels aims to replace more invasive treatments, improve patients’…Electrical impulses that occur naturally in the heart could one day be used to detect and repair irregular heartbeats known as arrhythmias.

New hope for coral reefs
Corals are one of the most beautiful and fascinating ecosystems in the world. However, due to rising sea temperatures, pollution and ocean acidification, they are also one of the most threatened. Pioneering work of ERC grantee Tali Mass shows that…Corals are one of the most beautiful and fascinating ecosystems in the world.

Will 3D printed hearts solve organ donors shortage?
About the size of a big cherry, the first-of-its-kind 3D printed heart has cells, blood vessels, ventricles and chambers. This feat is the work of Prof. Tal Dvir and his team at Tel Aviv University. They managed to engineer such miniature organs…About the size of a big cherry, the first-of-its-kind 3D printed heart has cells, blood vessels, ventricles and chambers.
