Circulating endothelial progenitor cells as biomarkers for prediction of cardiovascular outcomes.
Experimental studies suggest that bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play an important role in the maintenance of endothelial integrity and hemostasis. The number of circulating EPC has been shown to be inversely correlated with cardiovascular risk factors and vascular function...
