Vascular diseases are the most prevalent cause of ischemic necrosis of tissue and organ,
which even result in dysfunction and death. Vascular regeneration or artificial vascular graft …

Diverse subsets of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are used for the treatment of ischemic
diseases in clinical trials, and circulating EPCs levels are considered as biomarkers for …

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been isolated and shown to be effective in animal
