Human cardiac progenitor cells are derived from whole hearts that have been dissociated into single cells and cultured using differential adhesion. Human cardiac progenitor cells are from a single donor. They are highly positive for desmin and other cardiac developmental markers. These cells enable researchers to produce highly purified cardiomyocytes and their progenitors. Human cardiac progenitor cells may be used for various types of in vitro, in vivo, or transplantation studies into normal or diseased systems. They are ideal for cardiac toxicology studies. In addition, they may be used in cardiovascular developmental studies.Development period: Prenatal
