This study shows that dynamically adjusting hydrogel stiffness during vasculogenesis improves vascular network formation, while late stiffening disrupts it, with effects mediated by FAK and Rho kinase.

This study shows that dynamic electrical stimulation improves hiPSC-CM differentiation, functionality, and transcriptomic pathway enrichment compared to static or no stimulation.

This study optimizes cardiac organoid culture conditions by testing seeding density and culture duration, finding that 20,000 cells seeded for seven days yield the most mature, viable, and cardiotoxicity-sensitive organoids.
