Size and shape of fuzzy spheres from matrix/membrane correspondence

Abstract We study the size and shape statistics of ground state fuzzy spheres when projected onto the transverse plane, utilizing the regularized SU(N = 2) matrix model in D = (1 + 3)-dimensional spacetime. We show that they appear as ellipses, from matrix/membrane correspondence...

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...
