Abstract

Nonclinical studies of drug effects with human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) provide new possibilities for evaluating drug safety and efficacy. The Comprehensive In Vitro Proarrhythmia Assay (CiPA) paradigm provides lessons from the cardiac field that also apply to drug studies with other stem cell-based assays.
