Variable analysis
- Stretching of SMCs using a Cyclic Stress Unit (FX5000 Tension System, FlexCell International Corporation), using a cyclic sine wave (60 cycles/min) and 10% elongation
- Measured outcomes after 48 hours of stretching
- Fibroblasts from a patient with MFS (Coriell Institute, GM21943) were reprogrammed into human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)
- The mutation was corrected by CRISPR-Cas9 to generate an isogenic control
- Control and Marfan iPSCs were grown on Vitronectin XF (STEMCELL Technologies) and maintained in mTeSR E8 media (STEMCELL Technologies)
- The resulting SMCs were maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum for at least 2 weeks before seeding onto UniFlex Culture Plates (FlexCell International Corporation)
- Isogenic control generated by CRISPR-Cas9 correction of the mutation in Marfan iPSCs

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.
