| Existing methods for human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) | |
| cardiac differentiation are efficient but require complex, | |
| undefined medium constituents that hinder further elucidation of | |
| the molecular mechanisms of cardiomyogenesis. Using hiPSCs | |
| derived under chemically defined conditions on synthetic | |
| matrices, we systematically developed an optimized cardiac | |
| differentiation strategy, using a chemically defined medium | |
| consisting of just three components: the basal medium RPMI 1640, | |
| L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate and rice-derived recombinant human | |
| albumin. Along with small molecule�based induction of | |
| differentiation, this protocol produced contractile sheets of up | |
| to 95% TNNT2+ cardiomyocytes at a yield of up to 100 | |
| cardiomyocytes for every input pluripotent cell and was | |
| effective in 11 hiPSC lines tested. This chemically defined | |
| platform for cardiac specification of hiPSCs will allow the | |
| elucidation of cardiomyocyte macromolecular and metabolic | |
| requirements and will provide a minimal system for the study of | |
| maturation and subtype specification. | |
