Core Summary
The Cardiovascular Regeneration Core Laboratory routinely generates patient-specific human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) for basic science research purposes of cardiovascular diseases. We generate chamber specific human cardiac cells (atrial vs. ventricular) for basic research, drug discovery, cardiotoxicity and personalized medicine. Healthy control as well as diseased human cardiac cells are available for transfer to UM laboratories for use in basic science research.
