Background: Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been well-studied for their
differentiation potential and paracrine activity in vitro and in experimental animal studies …

Diabetes is primarily characterized by hyperglycemia, and its high incidence is often very
costly to patients, their families, and national economies. Unsurprisingly, the number and …

Rationale: There is incomplete knowledge of the impact of bone marrow cells on the gut
microbiome and gut barrier function. Objective: We postulated that diabetes mellitus and …

In this paper, we present a novel impedance microcytometer integrated with inertial focusing
and liquid electrode techniques for high-throughput cell counting and discrimination. The …

The monitoring of immune cells gained great significance in prognosis and prediction of
therapy responses. For analyzing blood samples, the multicolor flow cytometry has become …

Background Hepatopulmonary syndrome affects 10–30% of patients with cirrhosis and
portal hypertension. We evaluated the serum angiogenic profile of hepatopulmonary …

Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs) can actively participate in revascularization in oxygen-
induced retinopathy (OIR). Yet the mechanisms responsible for their dysfunction is unclear …

Methods We performed a proof-of-concept open-label pilot study of fulvestrant in PAH. The
trial protocol (see online supplement) was approved by the institutional review board and …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies, are
cell-derived, lipid bilayer-enclosed particles mediating intercellular communication and are …

Increasing evidence suggests that circulating angiogenic cells (CACs) promote repair of
ischemic tissues. Activation of formyl peptide receptor 2 (Fpr2) has been reported to …
