Abstract excerpt
The capability of postnatal neovascularization makes circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) promising for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Using EPCs isolated from umbilical cord blood, this study aimed to clarify the transition of functional properties from early EPCs (e-EPCs) to outgrowth EPCs (og-EPCs) for potential applications in regenerative medicine. Mononuclear cells were collected...
