"Endothelial progenitor" refers to special cells in our body that have the potential to develop into endothelial cells, which are the building blocks of blood vessels. These cells can help repair damaged blood vessels and promote healthy circulation in our body.

endothelial progenitors obtained from adult human blood vessels can be expanded in vitro under xenoprotein - free conditions, for potential use in endothelialization of small diameter ePTFE grafts.
There have, however, been some studies with encouraging results; for example, Chinese scientists took
human endothelial progenitor cells exposed to resveratrol, and showed that telomerase activity increased.
Umbilical cord blood has a number of different types of cord stem cells,
like endothelial progenitor cells, hematopoietic stem cells, and mesenchymal stem cells.
MicroRNA - 138 inhibits hypoxia - induced proliferation
of endothelial progenitor cells via inhibition of HIF - 1a - mediated MAPK and AKT signaling.
Estradiol's benefits appear related to activation of
Endothelial Progenitor Cells which invoke new collateral circulation in areas of injury.
Still, they hope to discover drugs that could put the brakes on at least some metastases by short - circuiting the ability of
endothelial progenitors to respond to chemical cues sent out by tumors.
To explain the so - called angiogenic switch, or sudden growth of new blood vessels, some have pointed to
endothelial progenitors, which live in bone marrow but are found in more than half of all solid tumor types, says hematology oncologist Shahin Rafii of Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City.
A team from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Long Island, N.Y., reports that it staved off full - blown metastasis in mice by preventing mini-tumors in the lungs from recruiting stem cells called
endothelial progenitors, which assemble into blood vessels to nourish the malignancy.
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) differentiate into the cells that make up the lining of blood vessels, and so play roles in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis.
The postnatal adipose tissue contains a heterogeneous population of cells which includes adult stem cells (i.e., MSCs),
endothelial progenitor cells, leukocytes, endothelial cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells.
Endothelial progenitor cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells which target tumors can be modified to carry an anti-tumorigenic «payload» and promoter tumor growth inhibitionsy
Researchers from the laboratories of Hiroshi Y. Yoshikawa and Hideki Taniguchi had previously demonstrated the in vitro formation of a 3D transplantable liver «organ bud» from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) co-cultured with mesenchymal and
endothelial progenitors, and allows for the growth of a small vascularized and functional organ [1 - 3].
Previous attempts to achieve the same effect elsewhere had implanted cells lasting only a few days to weeks, although those studies mostly used adult stem cells, such as mesenchymal stem cells or
endothelial progenitor cells, he says.

endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) during in vitro expansion (A) and differentiation (B).
Endothelial progenitor cells were isolated from small pieces (1 — 3 cm) of human saphenous vein and / or mammary artery.
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were isolated from these vascular tissues following standard collagenase digestion procedure.
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) passage 10 and 15 were taken from low density cultures (A) Then induced to differentiate into mature endothelial cells (see methods).
Diabetes decreases the quantity and efficiency of EPCs (
endothelial progenitor cells), whose function is to travel to injured areas and help with the formation of blood vessels and heal injuries quickly.
GH therapy has been shown to decrease fat mass, increase lean body mass, increase bone mineral density, reduce both LDL and total cholesterol, reduce carotid - artery intimal media thickness, increase the number and function of
endothelial progenitor cells (which repair the vascular wall), increase exercise tolerance, and dramatically improve overall quality of life.8 9 10
