Applications for Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in Disease Modelling and Drug Development for Heart Diseases

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are derived from reprogrammed somatic cells by the introduction of defined transcription factors. They are characterised by a capacity for self-renewal and pluripotency. Human (h)iPSCs are expected to be used extensively for disease modelling, drug screening an...
