The use of umbilical cord blood as a source of marrow repopulating cells for the treatment of
pediatric malignancies has been established. Given the general availability, the ease of …

Angiotensin II (AII) induced the proliferation of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) isolated
from murine bone marrow or human cord blood. The formation of colonies with more than 50 …

Most primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells reside in vivo within the G0/G1 phase of the
cell cycle. By simultaneous DNA/RNA staining it is possible to distinguish G0 and G1 states …

Purpose: We have developed techniques to isolate endothelial cell (EC) progenitors from
