Smooth muscle cells largely develop independently of functional hemogenic endothelium

Smooth muscle cells largely develop independently of functional hemogenic endothelium

Vascular smooth muscle cells represent a major component of the cardiovascular system. In vitro studies have shown that FLK1+ cells derived from embryonic stem (ES) cells can differentiate into both endothelial and smooth muscle cells. These FLK1+ cells also contain a mesodermal precursor, the heman...
