| Research Abstract |
I discovered a novel small molecule (KY02111) by the chemical screening system using ES cells. This molecule promotes iPS-cardiac differentiation strongly and robustly. By using this molecule, I developed a new cardiac differentiation method that has many advantages for clinical application because of high efficiency, no xeno-contamination and low cost. In addition, this method can create mature cardiac cellsfrom iPSCs comparing with other studies. This study was published by Cell Reports (a sister journal of Cell) and selected for ‘Best of Cell Reports’ of 2012. Moreover, we made cardiac sheets by using my method, and for the first time, we established a heart disease model that is the spiral wave propagation in an arrhythmia after myocardial infarction.
