Popis: 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 vessels in mice.
