Abstract

Deriving a large number of hiPSC-cardiomyocytes would be beneficial for large-scale tissue engineering and drug screening applications. Buikema et al. show that GSK-3β inhibition combined with removal of cell-cell contact enables massive expansion of hiPSC-cardiomyocytes with comparable function to non-expanded cells.
