CARDIOMYOCYTES AND METHODS OF PRODUCING AND PURIFYING CARDIOMYOCYTES

摘要

The invention provides methods for producing a culture of cardiomyocytes and cultures of cardiomyocytes. Exemplary methods of producing and cultures of cardiomyocytes include a population of cells including cells having spontaneous and periodic electrical activity, and/or including nodal, sino-atrial or pacemaker cells; immature cardiomyocytes (cardiomyoblasts); mature contractile cardiomyocytes; or a mixed population of two or more of such cells.
