Abstract
Purpose of review: To provide an overview of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiovascular lineages and describe their impact on drug testing in vitro.
Recent findings: hiPSCs have garnered tremendous interest over the last decade due to their potential for unlimited proliferation and differentiation into cardiovascular lineages. Technologies using tissue engineering, 3D bioprinting, and organ-on-a-chip platforms composed of hiPSC derivatives can produce cardiovascular tissue mimetics that enhance drug screening applications. hiPSC-derived cardiovascular lineages advance drug screening efforts by using autologous cells that are more therapeutically relevant. Established approaches to reproducibly generate hiPSC-derived cardiovascular lineages and their subsequent organization into 3D constructs more accurately mimic the physiological organization of cardiac tissue, leading to improved identification of potential drug targets for therapeutic testing.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this journal is to provide timely perspectives from experts on current advances in cardiovascular medicine. We also seek to provide reviews that highlight the most important recently published papers selected from the wealth of available cardiovascular literature.
We accomplish this aim by appointing key authorities in major subject areas across the discipline. Section editors select topics to be reviewed by leading experts who emphasize recent developments and highlight important papers published over the past year. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field.
