Injectable hydrogel-loaded hESC-CMs promote cardiac regeneration. (A) Representative phase contrast image of hESCs before and after CM differentiation. (B) Double immunofluorescence staining of human-specific antibody (ZNF397, green) and cTNT (red) of hESC -CM grafts 4 weeks after injection. (C) Echocardiographic assessment of the numerical value of EF before and after injection and the percent change in EF of each rat. (D) Echocardiographic assessment assessed the numerical value of FS before and after injection and the percent change in FS of each rat. M-CM, matrigel + hESC-CMs; A-CM, alginate + hESC-CMs; H-CM, hyaluronate + hESC-CMs. Reproduced under terms of the CC-BY license [185]. Copyright 2020, Tan Y, published by Wiley-VCH
