Blood Vessel Network Successfully Created From Stem Cells

Scientists have created blood vessels in mice using human stems cells, leading to potential new treatments for cardiovascular disease, according to research published in PNAS Early Edition. The researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) extracted vascular precursor cells derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) - reprogrammed adult cells similar to embryonic stem cells - from one group of healthy adults, and from another group with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The iPSCs were then implanted onto the surface of the brains of mice...
