Monolayer method of EC differentiation from iPSCs using small molecules. iPSCs transition to lateral mesoderm through addition of CHIR99021, BMP4, and FGF2 for 3 days. Endothelial specification is induced for 3 to 5 days using VEGF-A, SB431542, and forskolin. Sorting for CD144+ and CD31+ cells generates a pure differentiated EC population.
