Modeling MELAS-associated cardiac defects using patient-specific iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes and cardiac organoids by Phua, Qian Hua

“…In this study, our iPSC-based in vitro model presented novel evidences showing that mitochondrial perturbations found in MELAS affects cardiomyocytes (CMs) differentiation and maturation. Mild mitochondrial aberrations such as mitochondria dynamic disequilibrium and abnormal increase in mitochondria numbers were also being recapitulated in our model. …”
