Cardiac spheroids as promising in vitro models to study the human heart microenvironment
Abstract Three-dimensional in vitro cell systems are a promising alternative to animals to study cardiac biology and disease. We have generated three-dimensional in vitro models of the human heart (“cardiac spheroids”, CSs) by co-culturing human primary or iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes, endothelial ce...
