Synergistic effect of VEGF and SDF-1α in endothelial progenitor cells and vascular smooth muscle cells

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent agonist of angiogenesis that induces proliferation and differentiation of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) after vascular injury. Previous studies have suggested that stromal cell-derived factor 1-alpha (SDF-1α) and VEGF have a synergistic eff...
