Abstract

Gong et al. present a transcription factor-guided 3D differentiation that rapidly generates vascular organoids from human iPSCs, enhancing engraftment and revascularization of ischemic limbs and transplanted pancreatic islets in mouse models.<sup>1</sup> This approach establishes a scalable platform for generating functional vasculature, supporting both disease modeling and regenerative therapy development.
