Specific induction and long-term maintenance of high purity ventricular cardiomyocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells.

Currently, cardiomyocyte (CM) differentiation methods require a purification step after CM induction to ensure the high purity of the cell population. Here we show an improved human CM differentiation protocol with which high-purity ventricular-type CMs can be obtained and maintained without any CM...
