Upstairs, Downstairs: Atrial and Ventricular Cardiac Myocytes from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

Cell Stem Cell. 2017 Aug 3;21(2):151-152. doi: 10.1016/j.stem.2017.07.006.

Abstract

Cardiomyocyte creation by human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) has generated opportunities for heart repair, disease modeling, and drug development. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell,Lee et al. (2017) report prospective markers of atrial versus ventricular myocyte formation from hPSCs and their use in directed differentiation of cardiac sub-lineages.
