Cardiovascular research relies heavily on the veracity of in vitro cardiomyocyte models, with HL-1 and H9c2 cell lines at the forefront due to their cardiomyocyte-like properties. However, the variability stemming from non-standardized culturing and transfection methods poses a significant challenge to data uniformity and reliability. In this study, we introduce meticulously crafted protocols to enhance the culture and transfection of HL-1 and H9c2 cells, emphasizing the reduction of cytotoxic effects while improving transfection efficiency. Through the examination of polymer-based and lipid-based transfection methods, we offer a comparative analysis that underscores the heightened efficiency and reduced toxicity of these approaches. Our research provides an extensive array of step-by-step procedures designed to foster robust cell cultures and outlines troubleshooting practices to rectify issues of low transfection rates. We discuss the merits and drawbacks of both transfection techniques, equipping researchers with the knowledge to choose the most fitting method for their experimental goals. By offering a definitive guide to these cell lines' culturing and transfection, our work seeks to set a new standard in procedural consistency, ensuring that the cardiovascular research community can achieve more dependable and reproducible results, thereby pushing the boundaries of current methodologies toward impactful clinical applications.

Brain organoids have been widely used to study diseases and the development of the nervous system. Many reports have investigated the application of brain organoids, but most of these models lack vascular structures, which play essential roles in brain development and neurological diseases. The brain and blood vessels originate from two different germ layers, making it difficult to induce vascularized brain organoids in vitro. We developed this protocol to generate brain-specific blood vessel and cerebral organoids and then fused them at a specific developmental time point. The fused cerebral organoids exhibited robust vascular network-like structures, which allows simulating the in vivo developmental processes of the brain for further applications in various neurological diseases. Key Features • Culturing vascularized brain organoids using human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). • The new approach generates not only neural cells and vessel-like networks but also brain-resident microglia immune cells in a single organoid.
