Abstract excerpt
Differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) into cardiomyocytes in culture may offer unique opportunities for modeling genetic disorders, screening potentially cardiotoxic pharmaceutical agents or replacing cells of the diseased heart. However, before clinical utility can be realized, numerous hurdles must be overcome. Comprehensive molecular and phenotypic characterization is required but has so far...
