El-Mounayri, O., Mihic, A., Shikatani, E. A., Gagliardi, M., Steinbach, S. K., Dubois, N., ... & Husain, M. (2012). Serum-free differentiation of functional human coronary-like vascular smooth muscle cells from embryonic stem cells. Cardiovascular research, 98(1), 125-135. In this study, a chemically defined (serum-free) organ-specific differentiation system is described, allowing for the induction and enrichment of functionally ‘mature’ coronary-like vascular smooth muscle cells. Cell culture in StemPro™-34 SFM is described in the Supplementary material online. StemPro™-34 SFM is a commercially available product. The precise formulation is unknown. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23213107 |
