Circulating progenitor cells and vascular dysfunction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), decreased progenitor cells and impairment of systemic vascular function have been suggested to confer higher cardiovascular risk.

Pravastatin Protects Against Avascular Necrosis of Femoral Head via Autophagy

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Autophagy serves as a stress response and may contribute to the pathogenesis of avascular necrosis of the femoral head induced by steroids. Statins promote angiogenesis and ameliorate endothelial functions through apoptosis inhibition and necrosis of ...

Endothelial Progenitor Cells May Be Related to Major Amputation after Angioplasty in Patients with Critical Limb Ischemia

Cells, 2023
Background: Critical limb ischemia represents an advanced stage of peripheral arterial disease. Angioplasty improves blood flow to the limb; however, some patients progress irreversibly to lower limb amputation.

The inflammation, vascular repair and injury responses to exercise in fit males with and without Type 1 diabetes: an observational study [PDF]

, 2015
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,

Transdifferentiation of blood-derived human adult endothelial progenitor cells into functionally active cardiomyocytes

, 2003
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

Decreased numbers of circulating endothelial progenitor cells are associated with hyperglycemia in patients with traumatic brain injury

Neural Regeneration Research, 2019
Hyperglycemia reduces the number of circulating endothelial progenitor cells, accelerates their senescence and impairs their function. However, the relationship between blood glucose levels and endothelial progenitor cells in peripheral blood of patients

Downregulation of ETS rescues diabetes-induced reduction of endothelial progenitor cells

, 2009
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

Endothelial stem and progenitor cells (stem cells): (2017 Grover Conference Series)

Pulmonary Circulation, 2017
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.
