De novo vasculogenesis in the heart
1 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
The formation of the embryonic heart vasculature is a complex process and is the result of vasculogenic, angiogenic and arteriogenic mechanisms, involving cells from distinct origins. In the neonate and the adult, several sources of endothelial precursor cells (EPCs) have been identified that contribute to physiological and pathological vascularization, consistent with the concept of de novo vasculogenesis after...
