Modelling cardiac fibrosis using three-dimensional cardiac microtissues derived from human embryonic stem cells
13 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cardiac fibrosis is the most common pathway of many cardiac diseases. To date, there has been no suitable in vitro cardiac fibrosis model that could sufficiently mimic the complex environment of the human heart. Here, a three-dimensional (3D) cardiac sphere platform of contractile cardiac microtissue, composed of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived cardiomyocytes (CMs) and mesenchymal stem cells...
