Abstract excerpt
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have introduced new possibilities for cell-based vasculogenesis treatment after stroke. In this study we quantified circulating levels of EPCs in stroke patients and in healthy controls, and evaluated the potential of EPCs to induce vasculogenesis in vitro. Blood was drawn from tPA-treated stroke patients and control subjects, and the circulating EPCs levels in each group were...
