Human pre-valvular endocardial cells derived from pluripotent stem cells recapitulate cardiac pathophysiological valvulogenesis

There are few human models that can recapitulate valve development in vitro. Here, the authors derive human pre-valvular endocardial cells (HPVCs) from iPSCs and show they can recapitulate early valvulogenesis, and patient derived HPVCs have features of mitral valve prolapse and identified SHH dysre...
