Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) display a unique aptitude to promote angiogenesis and restore endothelial function of injured vessels. How progenitor cells can execute a regenerative program in the unfavorable environment of injury/inflammation-induced oxidative stress is poorly understood. We hypothesized that EPCs are resistant to oxidative stress and that this resistance is due to high...
