METHODS FOR IMPROVING CARDIAC DIFFERENTIATION OF HUMAN EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS

摘要

Described herein are methods for inducing differentiation of stem cells into cardiomyocytes or other defined differentiated lineages by contacting the stem cells with Wnt3a or a functional fragment thereof. Also described herein are methods for treating patients with myocardial damage, e.g., after myocardial infarction or heart failure.
