Skeletal Extracellular Matrix Supports Cardiac Differentiation of Embryonic Stem Cells: a Potential Scaffold for Engineered Cardiac Tissue

Background/Aims: Decellularized cardiac extracellular matrix (cECM) has been widely considered as an attractive scaffold for engineered cardiac tissue (ECT), however, its application is limited by immunogenicity and shortage of organ donation. Skeletal ECM (sECM) is readily available and shows simil...
