Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac progenitors differentiate to cardiomyocytes and form biosynthetic tissues.
(PLoS One, 2013)The mammalian heart has little capacity to regenerate, and following injury the myocardium is replaced by non-contractile scar tissue. Consequently, increased wall stress and workload on the remaining myocardium leads to ... -
Role of Non-myocytes in Engineering of Highly Functional Pluripotent Stem Cell-derived Cardiac Tissues
(2013)Massive loss of cardiac tissue as a result of myocardial infarction can create a poorly-conducting substrate with impaired contractility, ultimately leading to heart failure and lethal arrhythmias. Recent advances in pluripotent ...
