Ascorbic Acid Enhances Differentiation of Embryonic Stem Cells Into Cardiac Myocytes
14 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Embryonic stem (ES) cells are capable of self-renewal and differentiation into cellular derivatives of all 3 germ layers. In appropriate culture conditions, ES cells can differentiate into specialized cells, including cardiac myocytes, but the efficiency is typically low and the process is incompletely understood. METHODS AND RESULTS: We evaluated a chemical library for its potential to induce cardiac...
