Differentiation efficiency of male and female hPSCs into smooth muscle progenitor cells (pSMCs). a Schematic of the protocol for differentiation of hPSCs to pSMCs and terminal differentiated SMCs. b Percentage of CD34+/CD31+ cells in the male and female hPSC derivatives. All hPSCs showed similar differentiation efficiency via a standardized differentiation protocol.
