Growing Beating Human Hearts in a Dish | Heart Organoids | GeneInCell

from GeneInCell · host Vinod Reddy Lekkala

What does it take to grow a beating human heart in the lab? This episode explores cardiac organoids—self-organizing heart tissues derived from human stem cells that contract, respond to drugs, and model human heart disease. We unpack how iPSCs are guided into cardiac lineages, how electrical and mechanical cues drive maturation, and why these beating mini-hearts are transforming drug safety testing, disease modeling, and the future of regenerative cardiology.
