hESC-Derived Cardiomyocytes Electrically Couple and Suppress Arrhythmias in Injured Hearts

Transplantation studies in mice and rats have shown that human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hESC-CMs) can improve the function of infarcted hearts1–3, but two critical issues related to their electrophysiological behavior in vivo remain unresolved. First, the risk of arrhythmias follo...
