Generation of origin-specific vascular smooth muscle cells

Mature and contractile cells with potential uses in therapeutic and preventive strategies for vascular diseases and regenerative medicine.

Origin-specific vascular smooth muscle cells were generated from both human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells using chemically defined media. These cells have now been shown to be pure (> 90%), mature and contractile for lineage-specific human cells disease modelling.
