Cardiac specific differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells
1 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Embryonic stem (ES) cells may represent an alternative source of functionally intact cardiomyocytes for the causal treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, this requires cardiac-specific differentiation of stem cells and the selection of pure lineages consisting of early embryonic cardiomyocytes. Therefore, an understanding of the basic mechanisms of heart development is essential for selective...
