Chemically defined human vascular laminins for biologically relevant culture of hiPSC-derived brain microvascular endothelial cells

Abstract Background In recent years, differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) into brain-specific microvascular endothelial cells (iBMECs) has frequently been used to model the blood–brain barrier (BBB). However, there are limitations in the use of iBMECs for in vitro studies...
