Multipotent Vascular Progenitor Cells of the Mesothelium Lineage Generated from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

Summary: Vascularization is critical for organ homeostasis and function, but cell-based technologies that promote vascular regeneration are limited. This protocol describes steps to generate human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived vascular progenitors of the mesothelium lineage. This technology h...

description Summary: Vascularization is critical for organ homeostasis and function, but cell-based technologies that promote vascular regeneration are limited. This protocol describes steps to generate human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived vascular progenitors of the mesothelium lineage. This technology has several advantages for the generation of vascular cells. First and foremost, MesoT cells are multipotent progenitors that can generate smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. MesoT cells therefore have potential utility in tissue repair, tissue engineering, and in vascularization of laboratory grown organs.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Colunga et al. (2019).
