In this study we demonstrate that CD34+ cells derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have higher smooth muscle cell (SMC) potential than CD34− cells. We report that from all inductive signals tested, retinoic acid (RA) and platelet derived growth factor (PDGFBB) are the most effective agents in guiding the differentiation of CD34+ cells into smooth muscle progenitor cells (SMPCs) characterized by the e...
