Over the past two decades, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has emerged as one of three principal analytical techniques used in metabolomics (the other being gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid with single-stage (LC-MS)). The relative ease sample preparation, ability quantify metabolite levels, high level experimental reproducibility, inherently nondestructive nature NMR spectroscopy have made it preferred platform for long-term or large-scale clinical metabolomic studies. These advantages, however, are often outweighed by fact that most techniques, including both LC-MS GC-MS, more sensitive than NMR, lower limits detection typically 10 100 times better. This review is intended introduce readers field NMR-based highlight advantages disadvantages It will also explore some unique strengths metabolomics, particularly regard isotope selection/detection, mixture deconvolution via 2D spectroscopy, automation, noninvasively analyze native tissue specimens.

Cardiomyocytes (CMs) from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are functionally immature, but this is improved by incorporation into engineered tissues or forced contraction. Here, we showed that tri-cellular combinations of hiPSC-derived CMs, cardiac fibroblasts (CFs), and endothelial also enhance maturation in easily constructed, scaffold-free, three-dimensional microtissues (MTs). hiPSC-CMs MTs with CFs sarcomeric structures T-tubules, enhanced contractility, mitochondrial respiration were electrophysiologically more mature than without CFs. Interactions mediating included coupling between through connexin 43 (CX43) gap junctions increased intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP). Scaled production thousands hiPSC-MTs was highly reproducible across lines differentiated cell batches. containing healthy-control hiPSC-CFs patients arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy strikingly recapitulated features the disease.
