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. …”

Conductive materials stimulated direct interspecies electron transfer and application in anaerobic digestion by Yan, Wangwang

“…The study revealed the improved methane generation was attributed to the stimulated hydrolysis of organic matters and greater degradation of humic-like substances. Microbial community analysis showed electro-active strains, and bacteria that are capable of degrading complex organics were greatly enriched in CM groups. …”
