In vitro functional comparison of therapeutically relevant human vasculogenic progenitor cells used for cardiac cell therapy.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: In cardiac cell therapy almost every cell type tested experimentally has yielded some benefit. However, there is a lack of studies directly comparing the function of various stem/progenitor cell populations. This study describes the expansion of peripheral blood CD133(+) cells and compares their functional properties with those of other commonly used human progenitor cell populations. METHODS: CD133(+)...
