Connexin 43 suppression enhances contractile force in human iPSC-derived cardiac tissues

Connexin 43 (Cx43) plays a crucial role in maintaining synchronous contraction in the heart. However, it remains unclear whether Cx43 directly influences the contractile force and synchrony of entire cardiac tissues. Previously, we successfully developed human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-d...
