Derivation of Heart Cells from Human Embryonic and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Description: This research will lead to the production of pure, well-characterized ISL1+ cardiovascular progenitor cells and ventricular cardiomyocytes as an abundant renewable cell source for cardiac repair. Development of engineered cardiac tissues using human ES and iPS cell cultures will provide exciting opportunities for high- throughput, patient-specific evaluation of cardiac medicines and cell-based therapies for heart failure.
