Epigallocatechin Gallate Facilitates Extracellular Elastin Fiber Formation in Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Derived Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells for Tissue Engineering

Researchers established the ability of the polyphenol compound epigallocatechin gallate, a principal component of green tea, to facilitate the extracellular formation of elastin fibers in vascular smooth muscle cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells.
