Stem Cell-Derived Vascular Cells

Human-induced pluripotent stem cell (h-iPSC)-derived endothelial cells (h-iECs) have become a valuable tool in regenerative medicine. Our group has developed a method for rapid, consistent, and highly efficient generation of h-iECs. Our protocol has broad applications and could reliably provide an unlimited number of h-iECs for vascular therapies.
