Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to the field of cell differentiation. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for preparing improved cardiomyocyte-like cells differentiated from at least one multipotent or pluripotent cell, comprising a step of contacting the cardiomyocyte-like cell(s) with at least one agent to promote and/or induce integrin subunit alpha-V (integrin αv) activity, thereby modulating expression of at least one cardiac gene of said cardiomyocyte-like cells. It also relates to a method for screening for an agent capable of improving cardiomyocytes differentiated from at least one multipotent or pluripotent cell.
