Direct contact with endoderm-like cells efficiently induces cardiac progenitors from mouse and human pluripotent stem cells.
Pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) have emerged as a powerful tool to study cardiogenesis in vitro and a potential cell source for cardiac regenerative medicine. However, available methods to induce CPCs are not efficient or require high-cost cytokines with extensive optim...
