functional expression of potassium channels in cardiomyocytes derived from embryonic stem cells

Functional expression of potassium channels in cardiomyocytes derived from embryonic stem cells

Royan B(1) stem cell can be differentiated to specialized cell types including cardiomyocytes. This developmental change is accompanied with expression of various K(+) channel types. The aim of this study was to detect functional expression of K(+) currents from stem cell stage and one week and two weeks after differentiation into cardiomyocyte. Mouse stem cell derived cardiomyocytes (ES-cardio...

Evaluation of Chronotropic Properties of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells-Derived Cardiomyocytes After Fibroblast Growth Factor Treatment

Purpose: We investigated the effect of (bFGF) (basic-Fibroblast Growth Factor) on the differentiation of divided cardiomyocytes from mouse embryonic stem cells (ES) and their pharmacological properties. Materials and Methods: The mouse embryonic stem cells (Royan B1) were cultured as 800 cells per 20µl of a hanging drop. After two days, ES cells in each drop aggregated to form embryoid bodies ...

The Effect of Cardio Gel and Matrigel on the Ultrastructure of Cardiomyocytes Derived From Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells

Purpose: To investigate the effect of cardiogel and matrigel on the ultrastructure of embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. ECM: Extracellular Matrix derived from cardiac fibroblasts (cardiogel), commercial extracellular matrix (matrigel) and control group (without ECM) were cultured for up to 21 days. Ultrastructural properties of cardiomyocytes were evaluated by transmitting electron mi...

Extract of mouse embryonic stem cells induces the expression of pluripotency genes in human adipose tissue-derived stem cells

Objective(s): In some previous studies, the extract of embryonic carcinoma cells (ECCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been used to reprogram somatic cells to more dedifferentiated state. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mouse ESCs extract on the expression of some pluripotency markers in human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Materials and Methods: Human A...

Functional cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells.

Human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells hold great promise for cardiovascular research and therapeutic applications, but the ability of human iPS cells to differentiate into functional cardiomyocytes has not yet been demonstrated. The aim of this study was to characterize the cardiac differentiation potential of human iPS cells generated using OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, and LIN28 transgenes compared...
