Differential analysis of peripheral blood- and bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells for enhanced vascularization in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract excerpt

For tissue engineering applications, effective bone regeneration requires rapid neo-vascularization of implanted grafts to ensure the survival of cells in the early post-implantation phase. Incorporation of autologous endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) for the promotion of primitive vascular network formation ex vivo has offered great promise for improved graft survival, enhanced rate of vascularization and bone...
