The level of circulating endothelial progenitor cells may be associated with the occurrence and recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma

Clinics, 2013
OBJECTIVES: The onset of chronic subdural hematoma may be associated with direct or indirect minor injuries to the head or a poorly repaired vascular injury.

Endothelial progenitor cells in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and emphysema.

PLoS ONE, 2017
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 ...

Folic acid supplementation normalizes the endothelial progenitor cell transcriptome of patients with type 1 diabetes: a case-control pilot study

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2009
Background Endothelial progenitor cells play an important role in vascular wall repair. Patients with type 1 diabetes have reduced levels of endothelial progenitor cells of which their functional capacity is impaired. Reduced nitric oxide bioavailability

Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Cerebrovascular Disease [PDF]

Stroke, 2005
To the Editor: In their interesting article, Ghani and colleagues reported a reduction in endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in patients with cerebrovascular disease, when compared with healthy control subjects.1 However, the authors did not mention a recent article by Taguchi et al reporting that CD34+ cells and CD133+ cells, as an EPC-enriched ...

Meso-Endothelial Bipotent Progenitors from Human Placenta Display Distinct Molecular and Cellular Identity

Stem Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: The existence of bipotential precursors for both mesenchymal and endothelial stem/progenitor cells in human postnatal life is debated. Here, we hypothesized that such progenitors are present within the human term placenta.

Human Endothelial Progenitor Cells [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2011
Human endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been generally defined as circulating cells that express a variety of cell surface markers similar to those expressed by vascular endothelial cells, adhere to endothelium at sites of hypoxia/ischemia, and participate in new vessel formation.

Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Diabetic Retinopathy [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2014
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of visual impairment worldwide. Patients with DR may irreversibly lose sight as a result of the development of diabetic macular edema (DME) and/or proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR); retinal blood vessel dysfunction and degeneration plays an essential role in their pathogenesis. Although new treatments

Prehypertension and endothelial progenitor cell function [PDF]

Journal of Human Hypertension, 2010
Prehypertension is associated with significant damage to the coronary vasculature and increased rates of adverse cardiovascular events. Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are critical to vascular repair and the formation of new blood vessels. We tested the hypothesis that prehypertension is associated with EPC dysfunction. Peripheral blood

Prostaglandin E Positively Modulates Endothelial Progenitor Cell Homeostasis: An Advanced Treatment Modality for Autologous Cell Therapy [PDF]

, 2009
Aims: The mobilization of endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) and their functioning in postnatal neovascularization are tightly regulated. To identify new modulators of EPC homeostasis, we screened biologically active prostaglandin E compounds for their ...

Induction of Neurogenesis and Angiogenesis in a Rat Hemisection Spinal Cord Injury Model With Combined Neural Stem Cell, Endothelial Progenitor Cell, and Biomimetic Hydrogel Matrix Therapy

Critical Care Explorations, 2021
OBJECTIVES:. Acute spinal cord injury is a devastating injury that may lead to loss of independent function. Stem-cell therapies have shown promise; however, a clinically efficacious stem-cell therapy has yet to be developed.
