Table 1 Biophysical parameters of ML and EHT cultured hiPSC-CM. HiPSC-CM: human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes; n: number of cardiomyocytes; INa density measured at −30 mV from −110 mV holding potential; V0.5: voltage of half-maximal (in)activation; k: slope factor of voltage-dependence of (in)activation; τfastslow: fast and slow time constants of recovery from inactivation. Values are mean ± SEM.

From: Human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes cultured in 3D engineered heart tissue show physiological upstroke velocity and sodium current density
