Abstract excerpt
Cardiomyocytes (CMs) derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESC) provide a promising tool for the pharmaceutical industry. In this study the electrical properties and maturation of hESC-CM derived using two differentiation methods were compared and the suitability of hESC-CMs as a cell model for the assessment of drug-induced repolarization delay was evaluated. CMs were differentiated either in END-2...
