Endothelial Side Population Cells Contribute to Tumor Angiogenesis and Antiangiogenic Drug Resistance
7 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
Angiogenesis plays a crucial role in tumor growth, with an undisputed contribution of resident endothelial cells (EC) to new blood vessels in the tumor. Here, we report the definition of a small population of vascular-resident stem/progenitor-like EC that contributes predominantly to new blood vessel formation in the tumor. Although the surface markers of this population are similar to other ECs, those from the...
