Total artificial heart implanted in human for the first time
You might have missed: artificial heart implanted in patient; artificial praying mantis eyes; muscle cells in space; & 2.5-billion-year-old rocks.
The implantation occurred on 9 July as part of a US Food and Drug Administration Early Feasibility Study, which aims to evaluate the safety and performance of the device as a solution for patients with severe biventricular or univentricular heart failure. “Making the sensor in hemispherical geometry while maintaining its functionality is a state-of-the-art achievement, providing a wide field of view and superior depth perception,” says Byungjoon Bae, a PhD candidate at the University of Virginia in the US and first author of the study describing the technology in Science Robotics.
