Designed proteins guide stem cells to form blood vessels
Today we report in Cell on the de novo design of proteins that direct human stem cells to form new blood vessels in the lab. This newfound control over stem cell development is a step toward more effective regenerative medicines. “Whether through heart attack, diabetes, and the natural process of aging, we all accumulate damage…
