Research Abstract |
We employed a heterokaryon-based gene screening approach to identify the crucial transcription factors might be involved in direct cardiac reprogramming. By using this novel technique, we found a series of transcription factors essential for right and left ventricular formation include GATA4, Mef2c, Tbx5, Myocardin, and Hand2 were capable of converting the cardiac progenitor cells toward mature cardiomyocytes directly in vitro.
