Insulin-Like Growth Factor Promotes Cardiac Lineage Induction In Vitro by Selective Expansion of Early Mesoderm
4 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
A thorough understanding of the developmental signals that direct pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) toward a cardiac fate is essential for translational applications in disease modeling and therapy. We screened a panel of 44 cytokines/signaling molecules for their ability to enhance Nkx2.5(+) cardiac progenitor cell (CPC) formation during in vitro embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation. Treatment of murine ESCs...
