Self-organized vascular networks from human pluripotent stem cells in a synthetic matrix

Abstract excerpt

The success of tissue regenerative therapies is contingent on functional and multicellular vasculature within the redeveloping tissue. Although endothelial cells (ECs), which compose the vasculature's inner lining, are intrinsically able to form nascent networks, these structures regress without the recruitment of pericytes, supporting cells that surround microvessel endothelium. Reconstruction of typical in vivo...
