Schematic diagram summarizing the protocol for differentiation of hESCs to endothelial phenotypes. Schematic representation depicts the differentiation of hESCs to endothelial progenitors and further towards venous and arterial endothelial phenotypes that upon transplantation form functional microvessels in vivo. bFGF Basic fibroblast growth factor, BMP4 Bone morphogenetic protein 4, EC Endothelial cells, EGF Epidermal growth factor, hESC Human embryonic stem cells, VEGF Vascular endothelial growth factor
