Study Explores Coculture between Sympathetic Nervous System and Heart Muscle Cells

Newswise — Article title: Functional coculture of sympathetic neurons and cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells

Authors: Annika Winbo, Suganeya Ramanan, Emily Eugster, Stefan Jovinge, Jon R. Skinner, Johanna M. Montgomery

From the authors: "We present data on a functional coculture between human induced pluripotent stem cell derived sympathetic neurons and cardiomyocytes. Moreover, this study adds significantly to the available data on electrophysiological function of human induced pluripotent stem cell derived sympathetic neurons."

This study is highlighted as one of October’s "best of the best" as part of the American Physiological Society's APSselect program.
