The role of endothelial progenitor cells in vascular repair after arterial injury and atherosclerotic plaque development.
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are under investigation due to their association with vascular injury. In response to chemotactic stimuli they are mobilized from bone-marrow and nonbone marrow sites, they migrate, adhere and home to the injured vessel. Numerous molecular and cellular pathways pa...
