Neuregulin/ErbB Signaling Regulates Cardiac Subtype Specification in Differentiating Human Embryonic Stem Cells
30 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hESC-CMs) exhibit either a "working" chamber or a nodal-like phenotype. To generate optimal hESC-CM preparations for eventual clinical application in cell-based therapies, we will need to control their differentiation into these specialized cardiac subtypes. OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate intact neuregulin (NRG)-1β/ErbB signaling in hESC-CMs and test the...
