Human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM) cultured in the presence of retinoic acid were proposed as a model for human atrium. Since in the human heart positive inotropic effects of serotonin (5-HT) are restricted to the atrium, we investigated whether the presence of 5-HT responses may distinguish between hiPSC-atrial and ventricular CM. Nonfiltered retinoic acid (1 µM) was used to...
