Endothelial progenitor cells and burn injury - exploring the relationship. [PDF]
Burn wounds result in varying degrees of soft tissue damage that are typically graded clinically. Recently a key participant in neovascularization, the endothelial progenitor cell, has been the subject of intense cardiovascular research to explore ...

Vascular changes in diabetic retinopathy-a longitudinal study in the Nile rat. [PDF]
Diabetic retinopathy is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes and is a major cause of blindness, but an understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease has been hampered by a lack of accurate animal models. Here, we explore the dynamics
