Happy to share our new preprint doi.org/10.1101/2025... We present a protocol to generate Parasympathetic neurons from hiPSC. They express key parasympathetic/autonomic markers, #ephys features and respond to nicotine. They can also form functional connections with hiPSC-atrial cardiomyocytes.

Generation of parasympathetic neurons from hiPSC that reproduce the electrophysiological properties of native neurons and modulate the activity of hiPSC-atrial cardiomyocytes
Peripheral parasympathetic ganglia lie adjacent to their target organs; their dysfunction contributes to diseases like atrial fibrillation. Due to their challenging accessibility for primary culture, ...

Happy to announce our preprint going live on BioRxiv! Interested in what’s happening to your fibroblasts’ transcriptomic phenotype once it’s in culture? Look no further! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @denklab.bsky.social #fibroblast #scRNAseq #culture #invitro #keloid #ECM #matrix #mesenchymal

Single-cell RNA sequencing clarifies dermal fibroblast subset representation in vitro and reveals variable persistence of keloid disease-associated features
In vitro models of scarring and fibrosis are essential to improve our understanding of disease mechanisms and ultimately develop much-needed effective therapeutic strategies. This is particularly true...

I can never get bored of recording action potentials from my iPSC sympathetic neurons and the RMP was -70mV 😍 #patchclamp #ephys

Super happy to share our work just published in @jphysiol.bsky.social led by Neda Mohammadi and a amaxing work by all the authors! We show that sympathetic neurons can enhance the maturity of stem cell derived cardiomyocytes structurally and functionally- exciting data for neurocardiac models!
