Preparation of iPS cell-derived CD31⁺ endothelial cells using three-dimensional suspension culture.

ABSTRACT: A well-organised vascular network is essential for metabolic exchange to maintain homoeostasis in the body. Therefore, for progress in regenerative medicine, it is particularly important to establish methods of vascularization in bioengineered three-dimensional (3D) functional tissues. In addition, it is necessary to develop methods to supply a large number of iPS cell-derived endothelial cells for fabricating the vascular network structure. There are already many reports on the method of inducing the differentiation of endothelial cells from iPS cells using 2D culture. However, there are few reports on methods for preparing a large number of iPS cell-derived endothelial cells. Therefore, we developed methods for inducing vascular endothelial cells from human inducible pluripotent stem (hi
