Heart rhythm in vitro: measuring stem cell-derived pacemaker cells on microelectrode arrays

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

However, there is currently no commercially available cell source to apply this technology in the context of the cardiac conduction system (CCS). In response to this problem, our group has previously developed a protocol for the generation of pure functional cardiac pacemaker cells from mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs).
