Abstract

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) are stem cells derived from bone marrow and peripheral blood, which could proliferate and differentiate into endothelial cells and participate in repair after tube injury. Studies have shown that the improving function of diabetic EPC could prevent and reduce the occurrence of diabetic complications. The research progress in improving the function of EPC in recent years and the improvement of function in the development of diabetes were reviewed in order to provide new ideas for the treatment of diabetes.
