Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells as a Pathogenetic Marker of Moyamoya Disease
9 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is an unusual form of chronic cerebrovascular occlusive disease that involves the formation of characteristically abnormal vessels. Recent studies have reported that colony-forming unit (CFU) and outgrowth cells represent a subpopulation of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). Here, we attempted to determine the significance of CFU number and outgrowth cell yield in MMD. Endothelial...
