Tissue-Engineered Vascular Rings from Human iPSC-Derived Smooth Muscle Cells
There is an urgent need for an efficient approach to obtain a large-scale and renewable source of functional human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to establish robust, patient-specific tissue model systems for studying the pathogenesis of vascular disease, and for developing novel therapeutic interventions. Here, we have derived a large quantity of highly enriched functional VSMCs from hum...
متن کاملModeling supravalvular aortic stenosis syndrome with human induced pluripotent stem cells.
BACKGROUND Supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) is caused by mutations in the elastin (ELN) gene and is characterized by abnormal proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) that can lead to narrowing or blockage of the ascending aorta and other arterial vessels. Having patient-specific SMCs available may facilitate the study of disease mechanisms and development of novel therapeutic i...

The emerging field of stem cell medicine offers unprecedented opportunities, among which the ability to model genetic diseases in vitro is one of the most exciting. In particular, disease modeling using stem cells promises to deliver a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms and to provide a test bed for novel therapies within a relatively short timeframe. The seminal discovery by Shinya Yam...
