Substantial variation in the cardiac differentiation of human embryonic stem cell lines derived and propagated under the same conditions—a comparison of multiple cell lines

Abstract excerpt

AIM: The differentiation efficiencies of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines differ from each other. To assess this in more detail we studied the cardiac differentiation of eight hESC lines derived in the same laboratory. RESULTS: Substantial variation in growth and in the ability to form beating areas was seen between the different hESC lines; line HS346 gave the best efficiency (9.4%), while HS293 did not...
