Electrical Stimulation Promotes Cardiac Differentiation of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Figure 1

Characterisation of human iPSC line CERA007c6. Representative images showing expression of pluripotency markers (a) OCT4 and (b) TRA1-60 in the undifferentiated cells. CERA007c6 can be differentiated into all three lineages: (c) endoderm (alpha-fetoprotein, AFP), (d) mesoderm (smooth muscle actin, SMA), and ectoderm (Nestin). (f) An IgG negative control. Scale bar = 100 μm.
