Understanding the Mechanisms of Chemotherapy-Related Cardiotoxicity Employing hiPSC-Derived Cardiomyocyte Models for Drug Screening and the Identification of Genetic and Epigenetic Variants

Abstract excerpt

Chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity (CTRTOX) is a profound and common side effect of cancer-based therapy in a subset of patients. The underlying factors and the associated mechanisms contributing to severe toxicity of the heart among these patients remain unknown. While challenges remain in accessing human subjects and their ventricular cardiomyocytes (CMs), advancements in human induced pluripotent stem cell...
