Characterizing Human Pluripotent-Stem-Cell-Derived Vascular Cells for Tissue Engineering Applications
17 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
Tissue-engineered constructs are rendered useless without a functional vasculature owing to a lack of nutrients and oxygen. Cell-based approaches to reconstruct blood vessels can yield structures that mimic native vasculature and aid transplantation. Vascular derivatives of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) offer opportunities to generate patient-specific therapies and potentially provide unlimited...
