Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) were cultured in a chemically defined E8 medium (#1014500, Cellapy, China) on Matrigel (1:300, #356231, Corning, Tewksbury MA, USA). hiPSCs underwent differentiation towards cardiomyocytes when they reach ≈90% confluence. From the start of differentiation (D0), the E8 media is switched to cardiac differentiation media CDM3 comprised RPMI1640 (#11875500, Gibco, USA), bovine serum albumin(BSA, #9048‐46‐8, Sigma, USA), and L‐ascorbic acid (LAA, # 1713265‐25‐8, Sigma, USA). During the first two days, the cells were treated with the Gsk3β inhibitor CHIR99021(#252917‐06‐9, Sigma, USA) to potentiate the Wnt signaling pathway. After 48 h (D2), the cells were treated with a Wnt inhibitor C59 (#S7037, Selleck, USA) for consecutive two days. Cell beating could be seen around D8‐D9. Cardiomyocytes underwent selection and purification metabolically using CDM‐L medium comprised of glucose‐free RPMI‐1640 (#11879‐020, Gibco. USA), BSA, LAA, and L‐lactic acid (#L4263, Sigma, USA). After purification, cardiomyocytes were maintained in CDM3 medium and seeded onto a glass coverslip or into the PLA scaffold, which were pre‐coated with Matrigel at D18‐20. RPMI 1640 medium supplied with 10% FBS was used for the first 24 h culture and then the medium was changed to CDM3 for the consecutive culture. The medium was changed every other day.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
