This paper develops an in vitro cardiac fibrosis model using exogenous ECM to study how extracellular environment affects tissue formation and cell behavior.

This study applies short-term electrical stimulation to iPSC-CMs and finds early signs of maturation, including hypertrophy, but not full structural maturation like transverse-tubules.

This study characterizes human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived epicardial cells for cardiac tissue engineering, identifying optimal differentiation stages and their functional roles in 3D microtissue formation.
