Abstract

Here, we provide a protocol for next-generation human cardiac Organoid modeling containing markers of vascularized tissues. We describe steps for cardiac differentiation, harvesting cardiac cells, and generating vascularized human cardiac organoids. We then detail downstream analysis of functional parameters and fluorescence labeling of human cardiac organoids. This protocol is useful for high throughput disease modeling, drug discovery, and providing mechanistic insight into cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Voges et al.1 and Mills et al.2.
