The Invention
The present invention provides methods of differentiating pericytes from pluripotent stem cells comprising culturing steps in chemically defined culture medium. A population of exogenously derived pericytes from PSCs are also contemplated. Further uses of the exogenously cultured pericytes for an in vitro disease model or in vitro angiogenesis assay are contemplated, including an in vitro 3D model of vasculature.
