Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are capable of differentiating into a variety of human tissue cells. They offer new opportunities for personalized medicine and drug screening. This requires large quantities of high quality hiPSCs, obtai...
Mapping the gene-regulatory networks dysregulated in human disease would allow the design of network-correcting therapies that treat the core disease mechanism. However, small molecules are traditionally screened for their effects on one to several o...
Neuronal replacement therapies rely on the differentiation of specific cell types from embryonic or induced pluripotent stem cells, or on the direct reprogramming of differentiated adult cells via the expression of transcription factors or signaling...
The use of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), used as an alternative to human embryonic stem cells (ESCs), is a potential solution to challenges, such as immune rejection, and does not involve the ethical issues concerning the use of ESCs ...
Human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) provide an excellent platform for potential clinical and research applications. Identifying abnormal Ca transients is crucial for evaluating cardiomyocyte function that requires l...
INTRODUCTION: Brain organoids are highly complex multi-cellular tissue proxies, which have recently risen as novel tools to study neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD). However, with increasing complexity of the system, usage of...
Patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) offer an attractive experimental platform to investigate cardiac diseases and therapeutic outcome. In this study, iPSC-CMs were utilized to study their calcium transient...

The precise and early assessment of cardiotoxicity is fundamental to bring forward novel drug candidates to the pharmaceutical market and to avoid their withdrawal from the market. Recent preclinical studies have attempted to use human-induced plurip...
Identification of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) progenitor cells, the iPS forming cells in early stage of reprogramming, could provide valuable information for studying the origin and underlying mechanism of iPS cells. However, it is very difficult ...
Cell state-specific promoters constitute essential tools for basic research and biotechnology because they activate gene expression only under certain biological conditions. Synthetic Promoters with Enhanced Cell-State Specificity (SPECS) can be supe...
