This article from Cui et al., 2019 underlines once again how important mature human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) are for investigating tox effects reliably for human cancer treatment. Knowing that children are more susceptible to reveal doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, this article investigates underlying mechanisms by comparing hiPSC-CMs of 30 and 60 days in culture that were treated…Continue readinginnoVation Series – Research Article of the Month – December
We are happy to announce our new innovation facts blog focussing on news about the FLEXcyte technology and related topics! We start the blog with a series about cardiac maturation cues, a hot topic for everyone working on human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes. In this first part, we show you how to use the physiological environment of…Continue readinginnoVation Facts – Cardiac Maturation Cues (Part 1)
This months research article caught our eye because it analyzes the cell persistance and electrical integration of intramyocardially transplanted murine iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes. Murine iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes were tested in vitro for best attachment rates at three different developmental stages. The best two were then selected for injection into infarcted hearts of adult mice. Cell persistance and…Continue readinginnoVation Series – Research Article of the Month – October

July’s innovation Series article by Luo and Li et al., 2020 focuses on the role of type 2 ryanodine receptor (RYR2), an essential calcium channel required for excitation-contraction coupling in cardiomyocytes during human embryonic cardiac development. Read the article to find out how human iPSC-cardiomyocyte RYR2 -/- lines were generated via CRISP/Cas9 and compared to…Continue readinginnoVation Series – Research Article of the Month – July 2021
Similar to April’s innovation series issue, we have chosen an article that deals with the question of whether a cardiotoxic effect is of direct or systemic origin. In this month’s issue we are not looking at CAR-T related cardiac toxicity, but SARS-CoV-2 related severe cardiovascular symptoms. Read the article by Marchiano et al., 2021 and…Continue readinginnoVation Series – Research Article of the Month – June 2021
