Abstract excerpt
Cardiomyocytes derived from pluripotent stem cells can be applied in drug testing, disease modeling and cell-based therapy. However, without procardiogenic growth factors, the efficiency of cardiomyogenesis from pluripotent stem cells is usually low and the resulting cardiomyocyte population is heterogeneous. Here, we demonstrate that induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be derived from murine ventricular...
