Abstract

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), including embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells, are abundant sources of cardiomyocytes (CMs) for cell replacement therapy and other applications such as disease modeling, drug discovery and cardiotoxicity screening. However, hPSC-derived CMs display immature structural, electrophysiological, calcium-handling and metabolic properties. Here, we review various biological as well as physical and topographical cues that are known to associate with the development of native CMs in vivo to gain insights into the development of strategies for facilitated maturation of hPSC-CMs.

  • Major hallmarks regarded as a general consensus of cardiomyocyte maturation include myofibril maturation, electrophysiology, calcium handling, metabolic maturation, hypertrophy, and integration of physiology.

    “a number of major hallmarks have been regarded as a general consensus of the field, including myofibril maturation, electrophysiology, calcium handling, metabolic maturation, hypertrophy, and integration of physiology.10,37,38”

    From Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals maturation trajectory in human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes in engineered tissues (2023) · cites this paper as [37]

    The sections on facilitated electrophysiological and calcium-handling maturation and facilitated metabolic maturation discuss those properties, while the Adrenergic system section links hypertrophy to cardiac growth and maturation. The paper also describes myofilament organization and physical function, but our copy does not present this six-item list as a field-wide consensus or identify “integration of physiology” as a distinct hallmark. The indexed passages have no page numbers. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
