Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are attractive as cellular vehicles for targeted cancer gene therapy. An embryoid body formation method was used to derive CD133 + CD34 + EPCs from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. The findings suggest that human iPS cell‐derived EPCs have the potential to serve as tumor‐targeted cellular vehicles for anticancer gene therapy.
