technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biology and medicine, and more specifically, the invention relates to a neural crest lineage pericyte derived from pluripotent stem cells and a method for inducing differentiation thereof. Background technique
[0002] Pericytes, also known as Rouget cells or vascular wall cells, cover the outside of microvascular endothelial cells and exist in capillaries, postcapillary venules and precapillary arterioles. In recent years, the function of pericytes has attracted more and more attention. It plays an important role in the morphogenesis and function of blood vessels, cardiovascular homeostasis, and diseases such as ischemic stroke and diabetic retinopathy. However, there is no clear definition of pericytes at present. As a compromise, it is usually judged by comprehensive location, morphology, and gene / protein expression patterns.
[0003] Pericytes are ubiquitous in blood vessels. About 80% of microvessels in the b...
