Tissue regeneration involves complex processes in the interaction between different cell
types that control the process of neo-vascularization. In bone, osteoblasts and bone marrow …

To engineer tissues with clinically relevant dimensions, one must overcome the challenge of
rapidly creating functional blood vessels to supply cells with oxygen and nutrients and to …

The successful vascularisation of complex tissue engineered constructs for bone
regeneration is still a major challenge in the field of tissue engineering. In this context, co …

Endothelial progenitor cells from peripheral blood or cord blood are attracting increasing
interest as a potential cell source for cellular therapies aiming to enhance the …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) from bone marrow and outgrowth endothelial cells (OEC)
from peripheral blood are considered as attractive cell types for applications in regenerative …

In the present study we assessed the potential of human outgrowth endothelial cells (OEC),
a subpopulation within endothelial progenitor cell cultures, to support the vascularization of …

Evidence suggests that bone marrow-derived cells circulating in adult blood, sometimes
called endothelial progenitor cells, contribute to neovascularization in vivo and give rise to …

Angiogenesis is a key element in early wound healing and is considered important for tissue
regeneration and for directing inflammatory cells to the wound site. The improvement of …

Bone tissue is a highly vascularized and dynamic system with a complex construction. In
order to develop a construct for implant purposes in bone tissue engineering, a proper …

Addressing the problem of vascularization is of vital importance when engineering three-
dimensional (3D) tissues. Endothelial cells are increasingly used in tissue-engineered …
