The response of human embryonic stem cell‐derived endothelial cells to shear stress
7 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
An important physiological function of vascular endothelial cells is to detect and respond to physical stimuli. While many efforts have been made to derive endothelial cells from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), the ability of these derivatives to respond to mechanical forces has yet to be ascertained. hESC-derived endothelial cells (hEECs) were obtained by coculturing hESCs with OP9 stromal cells. Here we...
