During the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis, endothelial cells on the arterial wall damaged
by various means were initially thought to be replaced by replication of neighboring cells …

Cardiovascular disease is associated with damage of the endothelial monolayer leading to
endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. A growing body of evidence suggests that …

The mobilization and recruitment of bone marrow-derived, circulating or tissue resident
progenitor cells giving rise to smooth muscle-like cells have been implicated in neointima …

Accumulating evidence indicates that the mobilization and recruitment of circulating or tissue-
resident progenitor cells that give rise to endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells …

Significance: Atherosclerosis is a major cause for the death of human beings, and it takes
place in large-and middle-sized arteries. The pathogenesis of the disease has been widely …

Recent data from animal models has demonstrated that both endothelial and smooth muscle
progenitor cells contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. However, no data exists …

The integrity and functional activity of the endothelial monolayer play a critical role in
preventing atherosclerotic disease progression. Endothelial cell (EC) damage by …

The discovery of endothelial progenitor cells in the 1990s challenged the paradigm of
angiogenesis by showing that cells derived from hematopoietic stem cells are capable of …

Homeostasis of the vessel wall is essential for maintaining its function, including blood
pressure and patency of the lumen. In physiological conditions, the turnover rate of vascular …

The integrity and functional activity of the endothelial monolayer play a crucial role in the
prevention of atherosclerosis. Increasing evidence suggests that risk factors for coronary …
