The fully characterized hiPSC line is derived from dermal fibroblasts of a healthy male as previously published (Shinnawi et al., 2015 (link)). Informed consent was obtained after approval by the IRB committee of Amsterdam Medical Center. Colonies of hiPSCs were cultured in mTeSR-1 (StemCell Technologies) on plates coated with growth factor-reduced Matrigel (1:200 dilution, Corning). Cells were collected using 0.5 mM EDTA (Invitrogen), passaged every 4–6 days, and replated in mTeSR-1 supplemented with 2 μM thiazovivin (Selleck Chemicals). mTeSR-1 medium was replaced daily, except for the first day after passaging.
