Abstract
Human cardiac and other organoids have recently emerged as a groundbreaking tool for advancing our understanding the developmental biology of human organs. A recent paper from Sasha Mendjan’s laboratory published in the journal Cell on December 7, 2023, reported the generation of multi-chamber cardioids from human pluripotent stem cells, a transformative technology in the field of cardiology. In this short highlight paper, we summarize their findings. Their cardioids remarkably recapitulate the complexity of the human embryonic heart, including tissue architecture, cellular diversity, and functionality providing an excellent in vitro model for investigation of human heart development, disease modeling, precision medicine, and regenerative medicine. Thus, generating cardioids is an important step forward for understanding human heart development and developing potential therapies for heart diseases.
