Doctors from UMC Utrecht, Erasmus MC and UMC Groningen have performed the first heart transplantation after cardiac death in the Netherlands. The procedure can drastically increase the number of heart donors available nationwide every year.

The project will be led by Keita Ito, prominent RM-researcher at TU/e and UMC Utrecht in the field of biomedical engineering.

Utrecht researchers studied a washed up whale to understand human idiopathic scoliosis.

Levensechte in 3D geprinte nierbuisjes maken het mogelijk om onderzoek te doen naar nierziektes en de behandeling daarvan.

3D printed kidney tubes that closely mimic living tubes for the first time make it possible to do research into kidney diseases and their treatment.

$650,000 prize money brings much-needed dialysis upgrade closer

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common genetic diseases worldwide and has major consequences for patients. Although treatments are available to reduce the mucus and prevent inflammation typical of the disease, CF is not yet curable. CF is not yet curable. However, a new study by the Hans Clevers group (Hubrecht Institute) in collaboration with the Jeffrey Beekman group (UMC Utrech) and Oncode Institute offers new hope.
