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 …

Atherosclerosis is due to inflammation and endothelial dysfunction and damage caused by a
variety of factors. Dysfunction of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) that differentiate into …

Vascular progenitor cells have been the focus of much attention in recent years; both from
