Abstract
Purpose of Review
To provide an overview of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiovascular lineages and describe their impact on drug testing in vitro.
Recent Findings
hiPSCs have garnered tremendous interest over the last decade due to their potential for unlimited proliferation and differentiation into cardiovascular lineages. Technologies using tissue engineering, 3D bioprinting, and organ-on-a-chip platforms composed of hiPSC derivatives can produce cardiovascular tissue mimetics that enhance drug screening applications.
Summary
hiPSC-derived cardiovascular lineages advance drug screening efforts by using autologous cells that are more therapeutically relevant. Established approaches to reproducibly generate hiPSC-derived cardiovascular lineages and their subsequent organization into 3D constructs more accurately mimic the physiological organization of cardiac tissue, leading to improved identification of potential drug targets for therapeutic testing.
