Effect of Ionizing Radiation Induced Damage of Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Vascular Regeneration
11 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: A number of studies have revealed that stress signaling and subsequent stress responses in stem/progenitor cells are responsible for attenuated regeneration or degenerative disease. Because ionizing radiation (IR), which sensitizes diverse types of stem cells, reportedly induces cardio-circulatory diseases, we hypothesized that IR-induced vascular abnormalities are associated with defects in...
