Endothelial stem and progenitor cells (stem cells): (2017 Grover Conference Series) [PDF]
The capacity of existing blood vessels to give rise to new blood vessels via endothelial cell sprouting is called angiogenesis and is a well-studied biologic process.

Transdifferentiation of endothelial progenitor cells into rhabdomyosarcoma defined by hedgehog signaling competence [PDF]
Summary: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a pediatric soft tissue sarcoma resembling developing skeletal muscle, but tumors are found in sites devoid of skeletal muscle, suggesting a non-myogenic cell of origin. We previously described an endothelial progenitor

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]
There is still controversy regarding the role of circulating endothelial and progenitor cells (CECs/CEPs) in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc).

Endothelial Progenitor Cells [PDF]
Vascular endothelial cells form a lining — one cell thick — for all the blood vessels in the body, providing a critical interface between the vessel itself and blood-borne elements.

Circulating endothelial progenitor cells [PDF]
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.

Endothelial Progenitor Cells [PDF]
Endothelial progenitor cells are a circulating, bone marrow–derived cell population that appears to participate in both vasculogenesis and vascular homeostasis. Questions persist regarding their functional characteristics, as well as the precise panel of cell surface markers that uniquely define this newly described progenitor cell population.

High levels of endothelial progenitor cells and circulating endothelial cells in patients with Behçet's disease and their relationship to disease activity [PDF]
: Background: Behçet's disease is a multisystemic vasculitis, associated with vascular endothelial dysfunction. Currently, the prognosis is unpredictable, because there is still no valid laboratory marker indicating the disease activity in Behçet's ...
