This study evaluates the cardiac differentiation potential of human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells compared to human embryonic stem (ES) cells. The researchers generated iPS cells using the *OCT4*, *SOX2*, *NANOG*, and *LIN28* transgenes and differentiated them into cardiomyocytes using the embryoid body (EB) method. The results showed that both iPS and ES cell-derived cardiomyocytes exhibited similar cardiac gene expression patterns and sarcomeric organization. The proliferation of cardiomyocytes was comparable, and electrophysiological studies indicated that iPS cells could differentiate into nodal-, atrial-, and ventricular-like phenotypes. Both cell types responded similarly to β-adrenergic stimulation, demonstrating increased spontaneous rate and decreased action potential duration. The study concludes that human iPS cells can differentiate into functional cardiomyocytes, making them a viable option for cardiac repair and cardiovascular research.This study evaluates the cardiac differentiation potential of human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells compared to human embryonic stem (ES) cells.
