A New Validated Human iPSC-Derived Cardiomyocyte Line for Diversification of Donor Responses in Drug Discovery and Safety Pharmacology Studies
Cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) are a reliable and critical in vitro cellular model for drug-induced cardiotoxicity and drug discovery. To complement our gold standard iCell® Cardiomyocytes2, 01434, we developed iCell Cardiomyocytes2, 11713 from an alternative donor iPSC (termed 11713). This iPSC line was generated from blood cells donated by an apparently healthy normal female donor (age...
