Abstract:
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) can differentiate into mature endothelial cells and participate in postnatal vascular regeneration and impaired endothelium repair.Rearches in recent years on use of EPCs as seed cells in promoting angiogenesis,maintaining the integrity of endothelial function and constructing tissue engineered blood vessels are reviewed.
