Scientists at Weill Cornell Medical College have developed a new technique for turning human embryonic and pluripotent stem cells into plentiful, functional endothelial cells, which are critical to the formation of blood vessels.
The development is a significant step toward restoring healthy blood circulation to treat a variety of diseases.
Protein S Helps in Formation of Healthy Blood Vessels
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have discovered that CA—Protein S, a well-known anticoagulant protein, keeps the blood flowing in more than one way.

The study appears in the advance online issue of Nature Biotechnology.
"This technique is the first of its kind with serious potential as a treatment for a diverse array of diseases, especially cardiovascular disease, stroke and vascular complications of diabetes," says Dr. Shahin Rafii, the study's senior author.
Researchers Identify Mechanism That Triggers Blood Vessels Growth
Researchers have discovered a new mechanism that triggers the growth of blood vessels - after the circulation of oxygen and nutrients to body parts is turned off in mice.
