Angioblast Derived from ES Cells Construct Blood Vessels and Ameliorate Diabetic Polyneuropathy in Mice

Figure 3

In vitro differentiation potential of angioblast-like cells induced from ES cells (ES-ABs). After a 4-day culture on gelatin, ES-ABs formed many colonies. Immunocytochemistry, a smooth muscle cell marker, α-SMA, was detected at some colonies (a), and an endothelial marker, PECAM, was at the other colonies (b). Red: α-SMA and green: PECAM. Bar: 100 μm.
