Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), either embryonic or induced, offer a plentiful platform for derivation of multiple cell types. Pericytes, generated from hPSCs, are multipotent precursors with vasculogenic features that exhibit high proliferation capability in long-term cultures. Administration of hPSC-pericytes into ischemic murine hind limb is associated with therapeutic angiogenesis and attenuation of muscle wasting. Here, we describe the protocol for derivation of large numbers of pericytes from spontaneously differentiating hPSC-embryoid bodies.
