CXCR4pos circulating progenitor cells coexpressing monocytic and endothelial markers correlating with fibrotic clinical features are present in the peripheral blood of patients affected by systemic sclerosis [PDF]
Haematologica, 2008 There is still controversy regarding the role of circulating endothelial and progenitor cells (CECs/CEPs) in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc).

Relevance of Monocytic Features for Neovascularization Capacity of Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells [PDF]
, 2003 Background— Transplantation of ex vivo expanded circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells improves the neovascularization after critical ischemia. However, the origin of the endothelial progenitor lineage and

Circulating endothelial cells in Kawasaki disease
Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 2003 summary Recent reports have demonstrated that circulating endothelial cells (CECs) are observed in several diseases with vascular injury. Because Kawasaki disease (KD) is one type of systemic vasculitis, we hypothesized that an increased number of CECs may be associated with the appearance of complicated coronary artery lesions (CAL). In

Double-Stranded RNA Attenuates the Barrier Function of Human Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells [PDF]
, 2013 Circulating RNA may result from excessive cell damage or acute viral infection and can interact with vascular endothelial cells. Despite the obvious clinical implications associated with the presence of circulating RNA, its pathological effects on ...

Circulating endothelial progenitor cells [PDF]
British Journal of Cancer, 2005 Angiogenesis research investigates the formation of new blood vessels in wound healing, tumour growth and embryonic development. Circulating, bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were first described 8 years ago, yet the exact nature of these endothelial precursor cells remains unclear.

Circulating endothelial cells after transplantation [PDF]
The Lancet, 2001 Fate of renal allografts that survive vascular rejection To measure the outcome for grafts that survive early vascular rejection, we reassessed 411 biopsy samples taken from 260 patients in the first month after transplantation. Patients were separated into four classifications, according to Banff 1997 criteria: vascular rejection (36 patients); acute

Does erythropoietin therapy affect circulating endothelial cells in hemodialysis patients?
Український Журнал Нефрології та Діалізу, 2020 Anemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The most common cause of anemia in CKD is erythropoietin deficiency; and the most important cause of mortality in CKD patients is atherosclerotic vascular complications which are ...

Circulating endothelial cells in preeclampsia [PDF]
Journal of Human Hypertension, 2007 Endothelial dysfunction plays an important role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Increased number of circulating endothelial cells (CECs) have previously been reported after various diseases associated endothelial injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the CECs in patients with preeclampsia and to demonstrate any association between CECs and
