Stem-Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes Grow Up: Start Young and Train Harder

Publication date: 1 June 2018
Source:Cell Stem Cell, Volume 22, Issue 6
Author(s): Joshua T. Maxwell, Chunhui Xu
Engineering cardiac tissue that accurately recapitulates adult myocardium is critical for advancing disease modeling, drug screening, and regenerative medicine. Ronaldson-Bouchard et al. report a new strategy for generating cardiac tissues from stem-cell-derived cardiomyocytes that reach a maturation level closer to human adult cardiac structure and function.
