Increased Cardiomyocyte Differentiation from Human Embryonic Stem Cells in Serum‐Free Cultures
25 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can differentiate into cardiomyocytes, but the efficiency of this process is low. We routinely induce cardiomyocyte differentiation of the HES-2 cell line by coculture with a visceral endoderm-like cell line, END-2, in the presence of 20% fetal calf serum (FCS). In this study, we demonstrate a striking inverse relationship between cardiomyocyte differentiation and the...
