Endothelin-1 supports clonal derivation and expansion of cardiovascular progenitors derived from human embryonic stem cells

Understanding coronary vessels development provides basis for regenerative strategies. Here, Soh et al. identify endothelin-1 as a key molecule driving long-term expansion of ISL1+bipotent vascular progenitors derived from human embryonic stem cells, and show that these cells can regenerate coronary...
