Abstract excerpt
Fibrocytes are bone marrow-derived mesenchymal progenitors that co-express hematopoietic cell antigens and markers of monocytic lineage as well as fibroblast products. During wound healing, fibrocytes have been found to possess the ability of antigen-presentation to naive T cells in the inflammatory phase. Moreover, they can promote the endothelial cell proliferation, migration and angiogenesis by secreting...
