  • Three-dimensional vascular network assembly from induced pluripotent stem cells
    Patent number: 11332717
    Abstract: Early vascular cells (EVCs), including endothelial cells and pericytes, are generated from hiPSCs. Unlike the isolated endothelial progenitor cells, the differentiated ECs mature and are functional. When encapsulated in synthetic hydrogel, EVCs respond to matrix cues and self-assembled to form three-dimensional EVCs. Moreover, these EVCs respond to hypoxic microenvironment and undergo vasculogenesis to form complex 3D networks.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 21, 2016
    Date of Patent: May 17, 2022
    Assignee: The Johns Hopkins University
    Inventors: Sharon Gerecht, Xin Yi Chan, Quinton Smith, Yu-I Shen
