STEM CELL-DERIVED CARDIOMYOCYTES EXPRESSING A DOMINANT NEGATIVE PACEMAKER HCN4 CHANNEL DO NOT REDUCE THE RISK OF GRAFT-RELATED ARRHYTHMIAS

Stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes expressing a dominant negative pacemaker HCN4 channel do not reduce the risk of graft-related arrhythmias

BackgroundHuman pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) show tremendous promise for cardiac regeneration following myocardial infarction (MI), but their transplantation gives rise to transient ventricular tachycardia (VT) in large-animal MI models, representing a major hurdle to translation.Our group previously reported that these a

Column: Here I Stand

WN editor Geoffrey Cannon writes: My hero in this issue is John Maynard Keynes, who a century ago gave clues to just how ominous world prospects are now.Then I ruminate on the overuse and abuse of the word 'we', as in 'Yes, we can', or 'We need to tackle the challenge of epidemic obesity'.Who are 'we'?

An Entropic Estimator for Linear Inverse Problems

In this paper we examine an Information-Theoretic method for solving noisy linear inverse estimation<em> </em>problems which encompasses under a single framework a whole class of estimation methods.Under this framework, the prior information about the unknown parameters (when such information exists), and constraints on the parameters c
