What's the storyIn a major scientific breakthrough, researchers from Shanghai have successfully created the world's first lab-grown sinoatrial node.
The sinoatrial node is a small structure that serves as the heart's natural pacemaker.
Shanghai researchers engineer biological pacemaker that could offer a new way to control abnormal heart rhythms.
Organoids are mini organs grown in labs from stem cells, but which until now have lacked blood vessels. A US team has fixed that.
