Endothelial damage is an early requisite step for atherosclerosis after vascular injury. It has been reported that vascular wall cells can develop from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell-derived fetal liver kinase-1-positive (Flk-1(+)) cells. Here, we investigated the efficacies of intravenously administered iPS cell-derived Flk-1(+) cells on reendothelialization and neointimal hyperplasia in a mouse model of vascular injury.
