Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cell Therapy for Radiation-Induced Xerostomia in Previous Head and Neck Cancer Patients: A Phase II Randomised, Placebo-Controlled Trial

The authors differentiated iPSCs into iPericytes of either the mesoderm or neural crest lineage using established protocols. They compared iPericyte and human brain vascular pericytes (HBVP) morphologies, quantified gene expression by qPCR and bulk RNA sequencing, and visualised pericyte protein markers by immunocytochemistry.
