Popis: The Sinha laboratory has developed protocols for differentiating human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into vascular smooth muscle cells along developmental lineage-specific pathways. In development, paraxial mesoderm (PM), lateral plate mesoderm (LM) and neural crest (NC) linages each give rise to smooth muscle cells significant in a location-specific manner. Induced PSCs derived from patients enduring disease provide a platform from which disease-relevant cell models can be established in the laboratory. Here we describe a robust protocol for differentiating hPSCs into vascular smooth muscle cells via a neural crest lineage and the control steps required to ensure consistently high-quality differentiated cells.
