Stem cells differentiate to form more than 200 specialised cells, including erythroid bodies, haematopoietic cells, myogenic cells, neural cells, signalling cells and structural cells, such as hepatocytes. Differentiation of stem cells triggers a number of variable changes in the cell, such as membrane potential, responsiveness to signal, metabolic activities, and…

Procedures for cardiac differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have greatly improved over the past few years. The facilitated derivation of hPSC-cardiomyocytes has enabled the thorough assessment of their physiology and manipulation of their properties. Moreover, patient-specific hPSCs generated through cellular reprogramming allow for cardiac disease modelling, discovery of…
