ProtheraCytes display endothelial differentiation potential in vitro
We have shown thus far that ProtheraCytes secrete paracrine factors involved in angiogenesis, survival and cardiac regeneration that may promote endothelial and cardiac repair of damaged myocardial tissue. We next thought to address whether ProtheraCytes have the potential to differentiate into endothelial cells. To test this hypothesis, ProtheraCytes were subjected to endothelial differentiation using a multistep differentiation strategy and compounds inducing expansion, reprogramming and differentiationDifferentiation of ProtheraCytes into endothelial cells.
