Analysis of endothelial progenitor cell subtypes as clinical biomarkers for elderly patients with ischaemic stroke

Abstract Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), expressing markers for stemness (CD34), immaturity (CD133) and endothelial maturity (KDR), may determine the extent of post-stroke vascular repair. Given the prevalence of stroke in elderly, this study explored whether variations in plasmatic availabilit...
