Human pluripotent stem cells to study cardiac differentiation and maturation, and to model regeneration.

We are a research group in Buenos Aires working with cardiomyocytes derived from human pluripotent stem cells. These cells remain developmentally immature, and no current method brings them to a truly adult-like state. Our goals are to develop strategies that push them further toward maturity, and to use these more mature cells to find ways of reactivating their capacity to divide.
