The relative potency and safety of endothelial progenitor cells and unselected mononuclear cells for recovery from myocardial infarction and ischemia
29 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are a subset of the total mononuclear cell population (tMNCs) that possess an enhanced potential for differentiation within the endothelial-cell lineage. Typically, EPCs are selected from tMNCs via the expression of both hematopoietic stem-cell markers and endothelial-cell markers, such as CD34, or by culturing tMNCs in media selective for endothelial cells. Both EPCs and tMNCs...
