Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle Research

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), including human embryonic stem (ES) cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are self-renewing cells that have the potential to develop into cells of all three germ layers. hPSCs are a valuable research tool for researchers aiming to model human cardiomyocyte biology and disease. Myogenic progenitor cells, also know as satellite cells or myoblasts, have the ability to differentiate into multinucleated myotubes through myogenesis. Myoblasts can be isolated from skeletal muscle tissue for expansion and differentiation for functional studies and disease modeling.
