Step 1: iPSC/ESC maintainance

day 0 ~ 1 (duration missing in database; assumed 1 day)

culture “unspecified method” human PSC in “E8”.

Ideally, “PSC” should be obtained at the end of culture.

Step 2: mesoderm 1

day 1 ~ 5

culture “spheroid” human PSC in “unspecified medium” for “4” days. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “4” days.

concentrationunit
VEGF5.0e-5g/l
BMP45.0e-5g/l

Ideally, “mesoderm” should be obtained at the end of culture.

Step 3: endothelial 1

day 5 ~ 15

culture “adherent” human mesoderm in “unspecified medium” for “10” days. For ECM, use “Gelatin” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “10” days.

concentrationunit
VEGF5.0e-5g/l

Ideally, “EC” should be obtained at the end of culture.
