Using Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes as a Model to Study Trypanosoma cruzi Infection
16 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
Chagas disease (ChD) is one of the most neglected tropical diseases, with cardiomyopathy being the main cause of death in Trypanosoma cruzi-infected patients. As the parasite actively replicates in cardiomyocytes (CMs), the heart remains a key target organ in the pathogenesis of ChD. Here we modeled ChD using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived CMs (iPSC-CMs) to understand the complex interplay between...
