Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been isolated and shown to be effective in animal
models of ischemia, and many groups involved in clinical trials have demonstrated that EPC …

Microvasculature functions at the tissue and cell level, regulating local mass exchange of
oxygen and nutrient-rich blood. While there has been considerable success in the …

Tissue repair and regeneration are thought to involve resident cell proliferation as well as
the selective recruitment of circulating stem and progenitor cell populations through complex …

Hypoxia has been identified as a common contributor to tumor progression, including
invasion and metastasis. However, the underlying mechanisms of enhanced invasion and …

Study Design. Descriptive experimental study in 4 different mammals. Objective. To
investigate cell proliferation/regeneration and localize stem cells/progenitor cells within the …

The precise and conceptual insight of circulating endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) kinetics is
hampered by the absence of an assay system capable of evaluating the EPC differentiation …

The ability to exploit angiogenesis and vascularization as a therapeutic strategy will be of
enormous benefit to a wide range of medical and tissue-engineering applications …

Background Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were shown to have angiogenic potential
contributing to neovascularization. However, a clear definition of mouse EPCs by cell …

ABSTRACT CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) is a specific receptor for stromal‐derived‐
factor 1 (SDF‐1). SDF‐1/CXCR4 interaction is reported to play an important role in vascular …

Tumor angiogenesis is a complex process and involves the tight interplay of tumor cells,
endothelial cells, phagocytes and their secreted factors, which may act as promoters or …
