Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells to Cardiomyocytes
13 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cardiomyocytes derived from human embryonic stem (hES) cells could be useful in restoring heart function after myocardial infarction or in heart failure. Here, we induced cardiomyocyte differentiation of hES cells by a novel method and compared their electrophysiological properties and coupling with those of primary human fetal cardiomyocytes. METHODS AND RESULTS: hES cells were cocultured with...
