Abstract excerpt
Human vascular function depends on tightly coordinated structural, mechanical, and cellular interactions, yet these features remain difficult to recapitulate in vitro. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) enable efficient generation of vascular cell types, including endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and pericytes, but current systems often lack functional maturity and physiological relevance. Recent...
