Your heart on a chip: iPSC-based modeling of Barth-syndrome-associated cardiomyopathy
Cell Stem Cell.
.
Abstract
Disease-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are invaluable tools for studying genetic disorders in a dish. A recent paper by Wang et al. (2014) powerfully combines analysis of human iPSCs with genome editing and tissue engineering, in conjunction with biochemical and physiological assays, to provide insights into Barth-syndrome-associated cardiomyopathy.
