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...
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...

Bioinspired soft robotic systems that mimic living organisms using engineered muscle tissue and biomaterials are revolutionizing the current biorobotics paradigm, especially in biomedical research. Recreating artificial life-like actuation dynamics i...
We investigated clinical significance of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in heart failure. This study enrolled 32 heart failure patients and 28 control subjects. Total cfDNA levels were not different between groups (P = 0.343). Bisulfite-digital polymerase cha...

Background Small molecule kinase inhibitors (KIs) are a class of agents currently used for treatment of various cancers. Unfortunately, treatment of cancer patients with some of the KIs is associated with cardiotoxicity, and there is an unmet need fo...
BACKGROUND: Conversion of human somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is often an inefficient, time consuming and expensive process. Also, the tendency of iPSCs to revert to their original somatic cell type over time continues to ...
Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) have revolutionized cardiovascular research. Abnormalities in Ca transients have been evident in many cardiac disease models. We have shown earlier that, by exploiting computation...
Life-threatening cardiomyopathy is a severe, but common, complication associated with severe trauma or sepsis. Several signaling pathways involved in apoptosis and necroptosis are linked to trauma- or sepsis-associated cardiomyopathy. However, the un...
