Abstract
The generation of cardiomyocytes (CMs) and endothelial cells (ECs) from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) allows for precise modeling of cardiovascular disease using clinically relevant and patient-specific cells. Differentiation of human iPSCs into cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) and endothelial cells (iPSC-ECs) is governed by small molecules that regulate the WNT signaling pathway. Here we outline the detailed steps to generate iPSC-CMs and iPSC-ECs through small molecule-mediated monolayer differentiation.
