TrueCardium® Platform

TrueCardium®  system uses patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to create three-dimensional  cardiac organoids containing cardiomyocytes, vasculature, and neuronal  elements.

  • Mature Physiology: Organoids display adult-like metabolic and contractile profiles.
  • Age-Specific Models: Neonatal and aging organoids enable research across developmental and disease stages.
  • Robust Readouts: Rhythmic contractility, cytokine release, and electrophysiological activity provide clinically relevant endpoints.
