Angiogenic potential of endothelial progenitor cells and embryonic stem cells [PDF]
Background: Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are implicated in a range of pathological conditions, suggesting a natural therapeutic role for EPCs in angiogenesis.

CD144, CD146 and VEGFR-2 properly identify circulating endothelial cell
Studies evaluating circulating endothelial cells by flow cytometry are faced by a lack of con- sensus about the best combination of monoclonal antibodies to be used. The rarity of these cells in peripheral blood, which represent 0.01% of mononuclear cells,

Circulating progenitor cells and vascular dysfunction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [PDF]
In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), decreased progenitor cells and impairment of systemic vascular function have been suggested to confer higher cardiovascular risk.

Circulating Endothelial Cells and Vasculitis
Systemic vasculitides are a heterogeneous group of disorders with inflammation of blood vessels as their common pathogenetic hallmark. They often pose difficulties with regard to diagnosis and monitoring of disease activity, both at the initial presentation and during follow-up.

Downregulation of ETS rescues diabetes-induced reduction of endothelial progenitor cells [PDF]
Background Transplantation of vasculogenic progenitor cells (VPC) improves neovascularization after ischemia. However, patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus show a reduced VPC number and impaired functional activity. Previously, we demonstrated that p38

Transdifferentiation of blood-derived human adult endothelial progenitor cells into functionally active cardiomyocytes [PDF]
Background - Further to promoting angiogenesis, cell therapy may be an approach for cardiac regeneration. Recent studies suggest that progenitor cells can transdifferentiate into other lineages. However, the transdifferentiation potential of endothelial

Endothelial progenitor cells in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and emphysema.
Endothelial injury is implicated in the pathogenesis of COPD and emphysema; however the role of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), a marker of endothelial cell repair, and circulating endothelial cells (CECs), a marker of endothelial cell injury, in ...

The inflammation, vascular repair and injury responses to exercise in fit males with and without Type 1 diabetes: an observational study [PDF]
Background: Type 1 diabetes is associated with raised inflammation, impaired endothelial progenitor cell mobilisation and increased markers of vascular injury. Both acute and chronic exercise is known to influence these markers in non diabetic controls,
