In addition, improving post-transplant outcomes has contributed to soaring demand for organs. Unfortunately, thousands have died waiting on the transplant list due to the critical shortage of organs.\u00a0The success of bioengineered hearts may eventually lead to the production of limitless organs using the patient\u2019s own cells that can be transplanted into them without the need for immunosuppressive medications. Despite being in its infancy, scientists are making tremendous strides in \u201cgrowing\u201d an artificial heart in the lab. We discuss these processes involved in bioengineering a human-compatible heart in this review. The components of a functional heart must be replicated in a bioengineered heart\u00a0to make it viable.\u00a0This review aims to discuss the advances that have already been made and the future challenges of bioengineering a human heart suitable for transplantation. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cureus.com\/articles\/97314-is-a-bioengineered-heart-from-recipient-tissues-the-answer-to-the-shortage-of-donors-in-heart-transplantation\">Read the full article<\/a> in Cureus.<\/p>\n<span class=\"simplefavorite-button has-count loading\" data-postid=\"4698\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Loading<span class=\"sf-icon-spinner-wrapper\"><i class=\"sf-icon-spinner\"><\/i><\/span><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Loading With the increase in life expectancy worldwide, end-organ failure is becoming more prevalent.
