Journal ArticleDOI

Chemically defined generation of human cardiomyocytes

TL;DR: This work systematically developed an optimized cardiac differentiation strategy, using a chemically defined medium consisting of just three components: the basal medium RPMI 1640, L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate and rice-derived recombinant human albumin, which was effective in 11 hiPSC lines tested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes recapitulate the predilection of breast cancer patients to doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that patient-specific human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) can recapitulate the predilection to doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity of individual patients at the cellular level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drug evaluation in cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells carrying a long QT syndrome type 2 mutation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that patient LQT2–hiPSC cardiomyocytes respond appropriately to clinically relevant pharmacology and will be a valuable human in vitro model for testing experimental drug combinations.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-throughput screening of tyrosine kinase inhibitor cardiotoxicity with human induced pluripotent stem cells

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), generated from 11 healthy individuals and 2 patients receiving cancer treatment, to screen U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved TKIs for cardiotoxicities by measuring alterations in Cardiomyocyte viability, contractility, electrophysiology, calcium handling, and signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Stem Cells for Modeling Heart Disease and for Drug Discovery

TL;DR: This Perspective highlights recent research progress in the use of stem cells and progenitor cells for disease modeling, drug discovery, and cardiac regeneration.
