Derivation of endothelial cells from hESCs

ReferenceES sourceEC derivation
Kaufman24  hES cells (H1, H1.1, and H9.2) Undifferentiated hESCs were grown on mouse bone marrow cells (S17) or mouse yolk sac endothelial cells (c166) for 17 days. 
Wang33  Human EBs (H9, H1) days 9-10 EBs were sorted by FACS for VE-cadherin/PECAM1+ cells and then the sorted cells were grown for 7 days in endothelial-supporting media containing pituitary extracts and VEGF. 
Levenberg et al29  Human EBs (H9) day 13 FACS sorting for PECAM1+ cells. 
Gerecht-Nir et al36  hES cells (H9, H13, I9) Undifferentiated hESCs were grown on IV collagen–coated dishes, filtered (40 μm mesh), and then recultured on IV collagen–coated dishes supplanted with VEGF. 
Vodyanik41  Undifferentiated hES cells (H1, H9) Undifferentiated hES cells were grown on mouse bone marrow stromal cells (OP9, S17, and MS-5) for 10 days. 
Zambidis34  Human EBs (H1) days 7-9 EBs were grown on methylcellulose and supplemented with 50 μg/mL ascorbic acid, 0.5% insulin/transferring/selenium.
