Optical Method to Quantify Mechanical Contraction and Calcium Transients of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Derived Cardiomyocytes

Abstract

Differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells into cardiomyocytes (iPS-CM) holds promise for myocardial regeneration therapies, drug discovery, and models of cardiac disease. Currently, no method exists to easily and... [ view full abstract ]
