Vascular differentiation from embryonic stem cells: Novel technologies and therapeutic promises
3 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
Stem cell (SC) therapy represents a big hope for treating unmet clinical needs, including in the context of cardiovascular disease. The abilities of embryonic SC (ESCs) to self-renew indefinitely and to differentiate in all the three germ layers make these SCs very attractive for both basic science investigations and clinical therapies. ESCs can generate vascular endothelial and mural cells to be used for...
