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.

Direct differentiation method for making cardiomyocytes from human embryonic stem cells
TL;DR: In this article, a procedure for generating cardiomyocyte lineage cells from embryonic stem cells for use in regenerative medicine is described, where the stem cells are plated onto a solid substrate, and differentiated in the presence of select factors and morphogens.
Patent
Method for making high purity cardiomyocyte preparations suitable for regenerative medicine
TL;DR: In this article, a procedure for generating cardiomyocyte lineage cells from embryonic stem cells for use in regenerative medicine is described, where the stem cells are plated onto a solid substrate, and differentiated in the presence of select factors and morphogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proceedings: Moving Toward Cell-Based Therapies for Heart Disease: Cell-Based Therapies for Heart Disease
TL;DR: The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine supports multiple different cell‐therapy strategies for heart disease, offering hope that improved treatments will be available for patients in the future.

Abstract 553: Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes Form Human Myocardium and Improve Cardiac Function in Infarcted Rat Hearts
Michael A. Laflamme,Kent Chen,Chunhui Xu,Mohammad Hassanipour,Chris O'Sullivan,Lila R. Collins,Kellii Schurb,Elina Minami,Shuichi Ueno,Veronica Muskheli,Joseph D. Gold,Charles E. Murry +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) represent an attractive source for deriving large numbers of definitive and rapidly proliferating human cardiomyocytes for cell-based cardiac repair.
