Where this comes from

Abstract

Human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes represent a promising cell source for cardiac repair. However, their clinical translation is hindered by limited evidence for functional benefits in primate models, potential risks for arrhythmias, and teratoma formation. A recent study by Liu et al. (2018) makes significant progress on these critical issues.
