Derivation of human post-mitotic cardiomyocytes from tetraploid iPSCs
17 Aug 2026
Abstract excerpt
Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (iPS-CMs) have great potential in regenerative medicine. However, iPS-CMs are immature and resemble fetal cardiomyocytes, restricting their application. Fetal cardiomyocytes in the human heart are diploid and proliferating, but gradually lose their proliferative potential during maturation. Most human cardiomyocytes eventually become tetraploid,...
