New 3D Model Shows How Cadmium Exposure May Affect Heart Development

Shown in the six panels is the 2D model showing how the pluripotent stem cells react to human relevant doses of cadmium over 8 days. From the control in the first panel, to the last panel, researchers can see how the differentiation to cardiomyocytes (as shown by the green fluorescent-positive cells) is inhibited with different doses of cadmium. ...
