Derivation of human post-mitotic cardiomyocytes from tetraploid iPSCs

Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (iPS-CMs) have great potential in regenerative medicine. However, iPS-CMs are immature and resemble fetal cardiomyocytes, restricting their application. Fetal cardiomyocytes in the human heart are diploid and proli...
