Drs. Akhilesh Kumar, James Thomson, Igor Slukvin, and colleagues find that mesodermal pericytes and smooth muscle cells in human pluripotent stem cell cultures originate from a common endothelial and mesenchymal cell precursor, the mesenchymoangioblast. They show how different lineages of mural cells are specified from mesenchymoangioblasts and define stage- and lineage-specific markers for vasculogenic cells. [30May2017 Cell Reports]
