## Abstract Icariin has been shown to significantly facilitate the differentiation of embryonic stem (ES) cells into cardiomyocytes in vitro. However, the mechanism underlying the icariinβinduced cardiomyocyte differentiation is still not fully understood. In the present study, 52 differentially di
## Abstract The significant promoting effects of some prenylflavonoids on cardiac differentiation of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells via reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling pathway were investigated. The most effective differentiation was facilitated by icariin (ICA), followed by icaritin (ICT)
The cardiomyocyte (CM) differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) is routinely cultured as two-dimensional (2D) monolayer, which doesn't mimic in vivo physiological environment and may lead to low differentiated level of ESCs. Here, we develop a novel strategy that enhances CM differentiation of
