Background—Adipose tissue development and remodeling are closely associated with the
growth of vascular network. We hypothesized that adipose tissue may contain progenitor …

Abstract Background/Aim: It has been reported that adipose tissue contain progenitor cells
with angiogenic potential and that therapy based on adipose tissuederived progenitor cells …

Therapeutic angiogenesis has emerged as a promising therapy to treat patients with
ischemic diseases. Transplantation of bone marrow cells (BMCs) is reported to augment …

Objective—Therapeutic angiogenesis using autologous stem/progenitor cells represents a
novel strategy for severe ischemic diseases. Recent reports indicated that adipose tissues …

In this study, we isolated CD31−, CD34−, CD106−(VCAM-1−), and fetal liver kinase+ (Flk1+)
cells from adipose tissue. These cells can be induced to differentiate into cells of osteogenic …

Recent research findings postulate that adipocytes and endothelial cells (EC) may share a
common progenitor. However, the interlinking pathways between adipose tissue and …

Background—Several studies have suggested that stem cells are present in the stroma-
vascular fraction (SVF) of adipose tissue (AT). Methods and Results—To characterize the …

Therapeutic angiogenesis is an important means to salvage tissues against severe ischemic
diseases in patients with no option for other vascular intervention. A number of recent …

Background—The delivery of autologous cells to increase angiogenesis is emerging as a
treatment option for patients with cardiovascular disease but may be limited by the …

Neovascularization and angiogenesis are vital processes in the repair of damaged tissue,
creating new blood vessel networks and increasing oxygen and nutrient supply for …
