Beyond their well-known functions in the acute phases of the immune response, neutrophils
play important roles in the various phases of tumor initiation and progression, through the …

Since their identification in 1994, cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been objects of intensive
study. Their properties and mechanisms of formation have become a major focus of current …

When blood first encounters the artificial surface of a medical device, a complex series of
biochemical reactions is triggered, potentially resulting in clinical complications such as …

Diverse subsets of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are used for the treatment of ischemic
diseases in clinical trials, and circulating EPCs levels are considered as biomarkers for …

With the discovery of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in the late 1990s, a paradigm shift
in the concept of neoangiogenesis occurred. The identification of circulating EPCs in …

Recent studies provide increasing evidence that postnatal neovascularization involves bone
marrow–derived circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). The regulation of EPCs in …

The superfamily of proteins containing C‐type lectin‐like domains (CTLDs) is a large group
of extracellular Metazoan proteins with diverse functions. The CTLD structure has a …

Background Endothelial progenitor cells derived from bone marrow are believed to support
the integrity of the vascular endothelium. The number and function of endothelial progenitor …

Human bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the potential to
differentiate into mesenchymal tissues like osteocytes, chondrocytes, and adipocytes in vivo …

Infusion of different hematopoietic stem cell populations and ex vivo expanded endothelial
progenitor cells augments neovascularization of tissue after ischemia and contributes to …
