Differentiation Pathways in Human Embryonic Stem Cell‐Derived Cardiomyocytes
1 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Human embryonic stem (hES) cells are pluripotent cell lines derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst-stage embryo. These unique cell lines can be propagated in the undifferentiated state in culture, while retaining the capacity to differentiate into derivatives of all three germ layers, including cardiomyocytes. The derivation of the hES cell lines presents a powerful tool to explore the early events of...
