Abstract excerpt
The existence of endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) with high cell-cycle rate in human umbilical cord blood has been recently shown and represents a challenging strategy for therapeutic neovascularization. To enhance knowledge for future cellular therapy, we compared the phenotypic, functional and gene expression differences between EPC-derived cells generated from cord blood CD34(+) cells, and lymphatic and...
