Clinical Potentials of Cardiomyocytes Derived from Patient-Specific Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Clinical Potentials of Cardiomyocytes Derived from Patient-Specific Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells. Kwong-Man Ng, Cheuk-Yiu Law and Hung-Fat Tse; J. Clin. Med. 2014, 3(4), 1105-1123; doi:10.3390/jcm3041105

The cardiomyocytes derived from patients-specific iPSCs are of great potential in many clinical applications. This authentic human cardiomyocyte-based system is expected to compensate for the limitations of the current experimental animal models. This review provides detailed descriptions in the strategies and workflow of using the patient-specific iPSCs-derived cardiomyocytes in regenerative medicine, disease modeling and pharmacological applications. The examples illustrated in this review clearly evidenced the practical values of this novel technology. However, various limitations, such as the immaturities of iPSCs-derived cardiomyocytes, still need to be addressed, and future studies resolving these issues would be beneficial to the use of patient-specific iPSCs in clinical applications.
