Human induced pluripotent stem cell-based platform for modeling cardiac ischemia

Abstract Ischemic heart disease is a major cause of death worldwide, and the only available therapy to salvage the tissue is reperfusion, which can initially cause further damage. Many therapeutics that have been promising in animal models have failed in human trials. Thus, functional human based ca...
