The unexpected discovery that somatic cells can be reprogrammed to a pluripotent state yielding induced pluripotent stem cells has made it possible to produce cardiovascular cells exhibiting inherited traits and disorders. Use of these cells in high throughput analyses should broaden our insight into fundamental disease mechanisms and provide many benefits for patients, including new therapeutics and individually tailored therapies. Here we review recent progress in generating induced pluripotent stem cell-based models of cardiovascular disease and their multiple applications in drug development.
体细胞可被重编程为多能状态,产生诱导多能干细胞,这一意外发现使得产生具有遗传特征和疾病的心血管细胞成为可能。这些细胞在高通量分析中的应用应该拓宽我们对基本疾病机制的认识,并为患者带来许多好处,包括新的治疗方法和个体化治疗。在这里,我们回顾了最近在生成基于诱导多能干细胞的心血管疾病模型方面的进展及其在药物开发中的多种应用。
