Abstract excerpt
Cardiomyocytes derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC-CMs) represent the best cell source for cardiac regenerative purposes but retain an immature phenotype after differentiation with significant limitations compared to adult cardiomyocytes. Apart from an incomplete cardiomyocyte-specific structure and microarchitecture, cells show at the level of Ca2+ signaling only slow Ca2+ release and reuptake...
