Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can be expanded and differentiated in vitro into almost any adult tissue cell type, and thus have great potential as a source for cell therapies with biomedical application. In this study, a fully-defined polymer... Read More about Discovery of a Novel Polymer for Xeno-Free, Long-Term Culture of Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Expansion.

Molecular Therapy - Methods and Clinical Development, 20, 39-53. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.omtm.2020.10.019

© 2020 During normal- and patho-physiological situations, the behavior of the beta2-adrenoreceptor (β2AR) is influenced by polymorphic variants. The functional impact of such polymorphisms has been suggested from data derived from genetic association...

Twenty years since their first derivation, human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) have shown promise in disease modelling research, while their potential for cardiac repair is being investigated. However, low transfection effic... Read More about Transfection of hPSC-Cardiomyocytes Using Viafect™ Transfection Reagent.

Mitochondrial DNA: Hotspot for Potential Gene Modifiers Regulating Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (2020)
Journal Article
Kargaran, P. K., Evans, J. M., Bodbin, S. E., Smith, J. G. W., Nelson, T. J., Denning, C., & Mosqueira, D. (2020). Mitochondrial DNA: Hotspot for Potential Gene Modifiers Regulating Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Journal of Clinical Medicine, 9(8), Article 2349. https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm9082349

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a prevalent and untreatable cardiovascular disease with a highly complex clinical and genetic causation. HCM patients bearing similar sarcomeric mutations display variable clinical outcomes, implying the involveme...
