Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells or iPSCs) can be reprogrammed into human cardiomyocyte-like cells, with the aim of being used to repair damaged tissue caused by myocardial infarction to support heart regeneration. In vivo studies have generated promising results showing proof of principle for regenerative stem cell therapy.

Written by Kirsty E. Clarke, Victoria B. Christie, Andy Whiting and Stefan A. Przyborski, this review provides an overview of the use of small molecules in the control of stem cell growth and differentiation. Key signaling pathways are highlighted, and the regulation of ES cell self-renewal and somatic cell reprogramming is discussed. Compounds available from Tocris are listed.
Stem cells have potential as a source of cells and tissues for research and treatment of disease. This poster summarizes some key protocols demonstrating the use of small molecules across the stem cell workflow, from reprogramming, through self-renewal, storage and differentiation to verification. Advantages of using small molecules are also highlighted.
