Investigation into the mechanisms determining spontaneous activity in human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes
2019-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Background: Human induced-pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) provide an alternative to adult primary cells for scientific and commercial research, but they have an embryonic rather than adult electrophysiological phenotype. In particular: low expression of inward rectifying channel (Ik1) contributes towards the unstable resting membrane potential and results in spontaneous electrical activity...
