Until 15 years ago, vasculogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from undifferentiated
cells, was thought to occur only during embryonic development. The discovery of circulating …

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been extensively studied for almost 19 years now
and were considered as a potential marker for endothelial regeneration ability. On the other …

Context: Diabetes reduces the levels of circulating progenitor cells (CPCs) and endothelial
progenitor cells (EPCs), which promote vascular repair and are inversely correlated with …

Very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) are multipotent stem cells localised in adult
bone marrow (BM) that may be mobilised into peripheral blood (PB) in response to tissue …

Background The diabetic phenotype of wound healing is in part characterized by impaired
neovascularization and deficient endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) recruitment. Angiopoietin …

Background Endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs), a subtype of endothelial progenitor
cells, have been studied as a promising cellular source for therapeutic angiogenesis …

Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) has been shown to play a neuroprotective
role in ischemic stroke by mobilizing bone marrow (BM)-derived endothelial progenitor cells …

Aims: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels inversely correlate with cardiovascular events
due to the protective effects on vascular wall and stem cells, which are susceptible to …

У больных сахарным диабетом (СД) риск развития сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний
(ССЗ) в 2-4 раза выше, чем у больных без нарушения углеводного обмена. При СД …

Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by impaired vascular regeneration owing to
reduced endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). While statins are known to increase EPCs, the …
