ACEA Biosciences, Inc. - A part of Agilent
Room 119
The Utility of Electrical Field Stimulation for Functional Maturation of hiPSC-CM
One of the biggest gaps to full utilization of human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM) is their inherent maturation status. We will discuss exciting new data from our new high throughput instrument that uses electrical conditioning to achieve functionally mature cardiomyocytes that can be used to assess excitation-contraction coupling and other orthogonal assays.

Axion BioSystems
Room 119
Maturation of iPSC-CM Function for Improved Predictivity of In Vitro CM-MEA Assays
iPSC-CMs have significantly advanced in vitro assays for cardiac safety, but remain an immature representation of the human heart. In this seminar, attendees will learn how to mature cardiomyocytes for use in functional assays of the action potential, conduction, and contractility.
12:30–13:30
Nanion Technologies
Room 119
Future Technologies in Safety Pharmacology and Drug Discovery
Session focuses on HTS approaches for studying cardiac ion channels in research, screening, and risk assessment. Recent advances in iPSC-CM maturation strategies, as introducing simulated IK1 during patch clamp recording, mechano or electrical stimulation of 2D/3D monolayers and matrixes will be discussed. CiPA conform best practices and progress relevant for durg development will be presented.
12:30–13:30
TARA Biosystems
Room 120
Using hiPSC-derived Tissues for Cardiac Risk Assessment: Translational Considerations
Translational fidelity is a key consideration when selecting the appropriate model for cardiac risk assessment. Such fidelity requires a platform that reproducibly recapitulates key structural and functional features of adult human cardiac tissue. We will discuss data demonstrating the translational relevance of TARA's in vitro iPSC-derived Cardiotype tissues including structural toxicity data.

NanoSurface Biomedical
Leveraging Structurally Matured iPSC-derived Cardiomyocytes for Predictive High-throughput Screening
iPSC-CMs hold great potential for assessing various cardiotoxicity mechanisms in vitro; however their full potential is limited by their expression of fetal and embryonic phenotypes. Learn how structural maturation can improve the predictive power of these cells in a variety of cell-based assays, and how this approach can be easily integrated into most industry-standard high-throughput assays.
