This study compares two methods for isolating cardiac progenitor cells, finding that the collagenase-trypsin protocol yields more cells and shares a gene expression profile with cardiosphere-derived cells.

This study identifies the Slit2-Robo1 pathway as critical for cardiac sympathetic innervation during development, showing reduced innervation in Slit2-/- and Robo1-/- mice.

This study shows that miR-210 improves cardiac progenitor cell survival and paracrine function by inhibiting apoptosis and mitophagy, and enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis and growth factor secretion.

The paper uses multiomics analysis of 2D and 3D hiPSC-CMs under insulin resistance conditions to show metabolic and contractile dysfunction resembling diabetic cardiomyopathy.
