High-Resolution Electrophysiological Assessment of Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes

Abstract excerpt

The goal of the present report was to establish a new in vitro model for the study of impulse propagation in human cardiac tissue. By using the human embryonic stem cell differentiating system, spontaneously contracting areas were generated in three-dimensional differentiating cell aggregates (embryoid bodies). Morphological analysis revealed an isotropic tissue of early-stage cardiac phenotype. Gap junctions,...
