Step 1: iPSC/ESC maintainance

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

culture “adherent” mouse CPC in “DMEM/F12”. For ECM, use “Gelatin” at “0.1” “%”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table.

Ideally, “CPC” should express “Nkx2.5”, “GATA4”, “GJA1”, “Mef2c” at the end of culture.

Step 2: endothelial 1

day 1 ~ 8

culture “adherent” unknown species cell and mouse CPC in “EGM2” for “7” days. For ECM, use “Matrigel” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should be changed once in “7” days.

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