This paper develops a heart-on-a-chip device with aligned fibers to assess cardiotoxicity, showing functional responses to drugs and replicating clinical cardiotoxic events.

This study develops vascularized cardiac microtissues from human iPSCs and shows they improve cardiac function and vascular integration in a rat MI model.

This study compares the effectiveness of human platelet lysate and fetal bovine serum in generating vascular mural cells from human pluripotent stem cells, finding hPL 1% achieves similar efficiency with a more contractile phenotype.
