Abstract excerpt
Human fetal cord blood contains subsets of mononuclear cells with the potential to form both hematological and endothelial cells. Vascular progenitor cells, which can produce all three elements of mature blood vessels, including smooth muscle, have been identified in animals. We hypothesized that similar multipotential progenitor cells exist in humans and used the expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin...
