Abstract

In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Pan et al. generated human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived venous endothelial cells (iVECs) by manipulating cell-cycle dynamics and Notch signaling and demonstrated that TIE2-mutant iVECs recapitulate the pathogenesis of venous malformations.<sup>1</sup> Their study provides a model for further mechanistic studies and drug discovery.
