Differentiation, survival, and function of embryonic stem cell derived endothelial cells for ischemic heart disease.
Circulation. 2007; (11 Suppl): I46-54
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are distinguished by their capacity for self-renewal and pluripotency. Here we characterize the differentiation of ES cell-derived endothelial cells (ESC-ECs), use molecular imaging techniques to examine their survival in vivo, and determine the therapeutic efficacy of ESC-ECs for restoration of cardiac function after ischemic injury.
