Conventional views of the tunica adventitia as a poorly organized layer of vessel wall
composed of fibroblasts, connective tissue, and perivascular nerves are undergoing …

Several physiological and pathophysiological stimuli or drugs modulate endothelial
progenitor cell (EPC) mobilization. Moreover, levels of circulating EPCs predict …

To address the growing demand of small-diameter vascular grafts for cardiovascular
disease, it is necessary to develop substitutes with bio-functionalities, such as …

As manipulation of gene expression by virtue of microRNAs (miRNAs) is one of the
emerging strategies for cardiovascular disease remedy, local delivery of miRNAs to a …

The fundamental contributions that blood vessels make toward organogenesis and tissue
homeostasis are reflected by the considerable ramifications that loss of vascular wall …

Tissue regeneration and several diseases such as tumor and atherosclerosis depend on
new vessel formation by both angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. Endothelial cells (ECs) are …

Objective—Bone marrow-derived progenitor cells have been implicated to contribute to
neointima formation, but the time course and extent of their accumulation and differentiation …

Rationale: Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf) 3, a member of the cap 'N'collar
