NHP iPSC-Derived vCMs for in vitro Safety and Toxicity Screening​

Written by Ncardia Stem Cell Experts | March 17, 2026

This poster presents Ncardia’s platform for generating non-human primate (NHP) iPSC-derived ventricular cardiomyocytes, designed to support translational cardiac safety assessment alongside human iPSC-based models.

By enabling controlled comparison between NHP and human cardiomyocytes, the system provides new insight into species-specific pharmacology and cardiac safety signals during early drug development.

  • Scalable differentiation of cynomolgus macaque iPSCs into ventricular cardiomyocytes using stirred tank bioreactors

  • Structural and functional characterization using immunostaining, MEA electrophysiology, and impedance-based contractility assays 

  • Comparative pharmacology between NHP cardiomyocytes and human Ncyte® vCardiomyocytes, revealing species-specific responses to cardioactive compounds 

  • Detection of distinct arrhythmia and chronic toxicity signatures, supporting improved translation between in vitro and in vivo safety studies
