The discovery of peripheral circulating cells that contribute to vasculogenesis and
endothelial repair was one of the most fascinating breakthroughs in the domain of vascular …

In order to identify new markers of vascular cell senescence with potential in vivo
implications, primary cultured endothelial cells, including human umbilical vein endothelial …

Although there are different mechanistic theories for aging, 1 endothelial dysfunction (ED) is
a rather neglected player in the aging process. A maladaptive insulin/IGF-1-like signaling …

Aims The mechanisms mediating kidney injury and repair in humans with atherosclerotic
renal artery stenosis (ARAS) remain poorly understood. We hypothesized that the stenotic …

Background Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is characterized by lower extremity artery
obstruction and a largely unexplained impaired ischemic neovascularization response …

BACKGROUND: Deficiency in number and activity of circulating EPCs is associated with
reduced arterial elasticity in humans with advancing aging. Physical exercise can increase …

OBJECTIVE The risk of cardiovascular death before the age of 40 is 20-fold higher in
patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) predict …

Background Among the benefits of a cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program for patients after an
acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the mobilization of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) …

Objective The low number of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) has emerged as
a biomarker of cardiovascular (CV) risk in adults. Data regarding EPCs in paediatric …

Introduction: Mature circulating endothelial cells (CEC) and circulating endothelial
progenitor cells (EPC) have been described in several conditions associated with …
