Spontaneous muscle bundle formation and contractile activity in adherent differentiated ES cultures. Mouse ES cells were differentiated in to PSM-like cells according to the CDL medium protocol and subsequently cultured in HS2%. Large fiber bundle formed spontaneously in vitro anchoring only by extremities (not shown). Note synchronous twitching of the bundle of aligned myofibers. Real time speed.
