1 Nov 2005

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) have been shown to contribute to neovascularization and vascular maintenance and repair in adults. Recently, the concept has evolved that EPC dysfunction, in patients at risk for cardiovascular disease, may contribute to the development of atherosclerosis and ischemic vascular disease.
