Metabolic maturation of induced pluripotent stem cells derived cardiomyocytes by Lopez, C

“…By simultaneously targeting both maturation methods we have shown a degree of maturation through an increased movement towards reduced glycolysis and increased FAO in our iPSC-CMs.</p> <p>Like others this thesis has shown that iPSC-CMs mature slowly over time with changes in structural genes occurring during the first month of differentiation and continuing to increase up to 3 months, whereas metabolic changes took longer to develop. 3D culture on collagen-derived scaffolds and engineered heart tissue (EHT) accelerated this maturation time and increased mitochondrial oxidative metabolism while decreasing anaerobic glycolysis. …”

Multiple signatures of a disease in potential biomarker space : getting the signatures consensus and identification of novel biomarkers by Ow, Ghim Siong, Kuznetsov, Vladimir Andreevich

“…For each tGSS, the EFD of gID co-occurrences/overlaps with other rGSSs is characterized by scale and context-dependent Pareto-like frequency distribution function. Our results indicate that while independently there is little overlap between our tGSS with individual rGSSs, comparison of the EFD with BFD suggests that beyond a confidence threshold, tested gIDs become more common in rGSSs than expected. …”
