Cardiomyocytes derived from human embryonic stem cells in pro-survival factors enhance function of infarcted rat hearts

TL;DR: This work generated highly purified human cardiomyocytes using a readily scalable system for directed differentiation that relies on activin A and BMP4, and identified a cocktail of pro-survival factors that limitsCardiomyocyte death after transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Feeder-free growth of undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells.

TL;DR: A successful feeder-free hES culture system in which undifferentiated cells can be maintained for at least 130 population doublings and are suitable for scaleup production is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization and Enrichment of Cardiomyocytes Derived From Human Embryonic Stem Cells

TL;DR: The extended replicative capacity of hES cells and the ability to differentiate and enrich for functional human cardiomyocytes warrant further development of these cells for clinical application in heart diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor Supports Undifferentiated Human Embryonic Stem Cell Growth Without Conditioned Medium

TL;DR: Cells in media containing Flt‐3L, thrombopoietin, and SCF, individually or in combination, showed almost complete differentiation after 6 weeks in culture, demonstrating that hESCs can be maintained in nonconditioned medium using growth factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of Human Myocardium in the Rat Heart from Human Embryonic Stem Cells

TL;DR: Human embryonic stem cells can form human myocardium in the rat heart, permitting studies of humanMyocardial development and physiology and supporting the feasibility of their use in myocardial repair.
