a, Electron microscopy of subcellular Weibel–Palade bodies in human endothelial cells and NSC-derived endothelial cell candidates. Scale bar, 100 nm. b, NSCs, human endothelial cells and NSC-derived endothelial cell candidates (clone 1 is shown) were introduced onto Matrigel-coated plates at the 0 h time point and monitored for their capacity to form vascular cords. Scale bar, 100
