Researchers are reporting new insights into the genetic and environmental factors that are involved in transforming human pluripotent stem cells into heart cells. Their findings could help guide and improve stem cell research for cardiac regenerative medicine, drug discovery, and precision medicine in the future. Their study, which appears in Nature Biomedical Engineering, was partly funded by NHLBI.
