Efficient generation of functional human vascular endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells from pluripotent stem cells is an extensively studied topic and of great interest in the stem cell field. Though thought to be technically complex and difficult, substantial progress has been made towards this direction. Here we aim to summarize and discuss the most recent advances in this topic and their future perspective in research and clinic.
