Research Abstract |
It has been appreciated that ES/iPS cells can differentiate into heterogeneous populations of atrial, ventricular, and specialized conduction cardiomyocytes in culture. We found that transient inhibition of BMP signaling by Noggin and ascorbic acid treatment induced atrial cardiomyocyte differentiation of mouse ES and human iPS cells. Furthermore, we found that G-CSF treatment enhanced proliferations of human iPS cell-derived cardiomyocytes.
