Dynamic building facades inspired by marine organisms could reduce heating, cooling and lighting costs
A U of T Engineering team used carefully controlled fluid injections to design active materials that can help reduce energy usage for buildings
Reverse engineering the heart: U of T Engineering team creates bioartificial left ventricle
U of T Engineering researchers have grown a small-scale model of a human left heart ventricle in the lab. The bioartificial tissue construct is made with living heart cells and beats strongly enough to pump fluid inside a bioreactor. In the human heart, the left ventricle is the one that pumps freshly oxygenated blood into […]
