Mechanical and Electrical Phenotype of hiPSC‐Cardiomyocytes on Fibronectin‐Based Hydrogels
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.We introduce fibronectin‐based PEG hydrogels with controlled rigidity to enable the culture of iPSC‐derived cardiomyocytes. These substrates offer an alternative to the current culture of these cells on fibronectin‐coated glass, providing enhanced structural and functional behavior. The system provides a more physiologically relevant platform to assess

Transplantation of cryopreserved cardiomyocytes [PDF]
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2001 The present study examined the survival and rate of contraction of (1) cardiomyocytes cultured from cryopreserved fetal rat myocardium and (2) cryopreserved cultured cardiomyocytes. In addition, the effects of transplantation of cryopreserved fetal cardiomyocytes were evaluated.Segments of fetal rat myocardial tissue (0.2, 2.0, and 6.0 mm(3) mince size)

Emergence of Mechano-Sensitive Contraction Autoregulation in Cardiomyocytes
Life, 2021 The heart has two intrinsic mechanisms to enhance contractile strength that compensate for increased mechanical load to help maintain cardiac output. When vascular resistance increases the ventricular chamber initially expands causing an immediate length-

Thrombospondin-3 augments injury-induced cardiomyopathy by intracellular integrin inhibition and sarcolemmal instability. [PDF]
, 2019 Thrombospondins (Thbs) are a family of five secreted matricellular glycoproteins in vertebrates that broadly affect cell-matrix interaction. While Thbs4 is known to protect striated muscle from disease by enhancing sarcolemmal stability through increased

Reprogramming Fibroblasts into Cardiomyocytes [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 2011 The transdifferentiation of one differentiated cell type into another is the focus of much research activity. A recent study shows that mouse fibroblasts can be transdifferentiated, albeit with low efficiency, into cardiomyocytes.

Microfluidic Modeling of Macrophage‐Induced Cardiac Inflammation Using NF‐κB Reporter Cardiomyocytes
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A cardiac inflammation model was developed to enable real‐time analysis of macrophage‐cardiomyocyte interactions using NF‐κB‐reporter cardiomyocytes and a microfluidic co‐culture system. A MATLAB‐based model was implemented to optimize cell density and medium resupply based on TNFα diffusion kinetics. Activation thresholds and stress responses in NF‐κB‐

A Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Localized Protein Phosphatase Regulates Phospholamban Phosphorylation and Promotes Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in the Heart. [PDF]
, 2017 Phospholamban (PLN) is a key regulator of sarcolemma calcium uptake in cardiomyocyte, its inhibitory activity to SERCA is regulated by phosphorylation. PLN hypophosphorylation is a common molecular feature in failing heart.
