Arterial endothelial cells: still the craftsmen of regenerated endothelium.

Abstract excerpt

For more than a decade, a prevailing hypothesis in research related to arterial disease has been that circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) provide protection by their innate ability to replace dysfunctional or damaged endothelium.
