Abstract excerpt
Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) can contribute to neovascularization, even if the mechanisms by which they interact with mature endothelial cells remain unclear. The interactions between human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) during their early differentiation towards an EPC phenotype were investigated. A co-culture model, in which the two...
