• Introduction• Dynamics between endothelial injury and repair: the response to injury theory
'revisited'• Emerging biomarkers reflecting the dynamics between endothelial injury and …

The discovery, over a decade ago, of endothelial progenitor cells that are able to participate
in neovascularization of adult tissue has been greeted enthusiastically because of the …

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are mobilized from bone marrow to peripheral blood and
contribute to angiogenesis in tissues. In the process, EPCs are exposed to the shear stress …

OBJECTIVES: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) associates with endothelial dysfunction and a
high risk of cardiovascular events and death. Circulating progenitor cells have been shown …

Rationale: Preterm birth and hyperoxic exposure increase the risk for bronchopulmonary
dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung disease characterized by impaired vascular and alveolar …

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) may provide novel opportunities for therapeutic
angiogenesis after ischemic diseases. However, it is unclear how the angiogenic potential of …

Objective: To investigate whether adiposity influences endothelial progenitor cell (EPC)
number and colony-forming capacity. Design: Cross-sectional study of normal weight …

Age-related vascular dysfunction contributes to the increased cardiovascular risk in elderly.
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPC), a hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) subtype, can improve …

Rheumatic disease is characterized by inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, which
contribute to accelerated atherosclerosis. Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) …

The beneficial or detrimental effects of androgens on the cardiovascular system are
debated. Endothelial progenitor cells are bone-marrow-derived cells involved in endothelial …
