摘要:
The present disclosure relates generally to methods and compositions useful in cell and tissue biology and therapeutics. In particular, an in vitro method for differentiating pluripotent stem cells into KDR+NCAM+APLNR+ mesoderm cells and/or SSEA5−;KDR+NCAM+APLNR+ mesoderm cells is provided. The disclosed mesoderm cells may be used to generate blood vessels in vivo and/or further differentiated in vitro into endothelial colony forming cell-like cells (ECFC-like cells). Purified human cell populations of KDR+NCAM+APLNR+mesoderm cells and ECFC-like cells are provided. Test agent screening and therapeutic methods for using the cell populations of the present disclosure are provided.
