Glycosaminoglycan mimetic improves enrichment and cell functions of human endothelial progenitor cell colonies
11 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
Human circulating endothelial progenitor cells isolated from peripheral blood generate in culture cells with features of endothelial cells named late-outgrowth endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFC). In adult blood, ECFC display a constant quantitative and qualitative decline during life span. Even after expansion, it is difficult to reach the cell dose required for cell therapy of vascular diseases, thus...
