Wnt3a-Induced Mesoderm Formation and Cardiomyogenesis in Human Embryonic Stem Cells
23 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
In vitro differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) into pure human cardiomyocytes (hESCMs) would present a powerful tool to further the creation of cell models designed to advance preclinical drug development. Here, we report a novel differentiation method to substantially increase hESCM yield. Upon early and transient treatment of hESCs with Wnt3a, embryoid body and mesendoderm formation is enhanced,...
