Recent evidence indicates that bone marrow is a source of endothelial progenitor cells that
are mobilized into the peripheral blood in response to cytokines or tissue injury. Previously …

During early embryogenesis, blood vessels and hematopoietic cells arise from a common
precursor cell, the hemangioblast. Recent studies have identified endothelial progenitor …

Background—Blood-borne endothelial cells originating from adult bone marrow were
reported previously. These cells have the properties of an endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) …

Background—Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been identified in adult human
peripheral blood. Because circulating EPCs should originate from bone marrow (BM), we …

Emerging evidence suggests that bone marrow–derived endothelial, hematopoietic stem
and progenitor cells contribute to tissue vascularization during both embryonic and postnatal …

It has been proposed that hematopoietic and endothelial cells are derived from a common
cell, the hemangioblast. In this study, we demonstrate that a subset of CD34+ cells have the …

An increase in the number of circulating endothelial cells (CEC) and of bone marrow‐
derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) in the peripheral blood is associated with …

Recent studies suggest that endothelial cells are a critical component of the normal
hematopoietic microenvironment. Therefore, we sought to determine whether primary …

OBJECTIVE: Our laboratory and others recently provided evidence indicating that
endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) participate in postnatal neovascularization. However, the …

It has recently been demonstrated that postnatal neovascularization is not restricted to
angiogenesis, but also includes vasculogenesis. During adult vasculogenesis, bone marrow …
