A critical discovery in this research was finding that the novel progenitor has a receptor protein on its cell surface called KDR, or vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, which until now, was thought to be restricted to endothelial cells that form vessels, the progenitors for endothelial cells and the progenitors blood cells.

Researchers from Massachusetts Eye and Ear have, for the first time, identified rapidly proliferating cells (known as «neural crest - derived progenitor cells») in the corneal endothelium of specimens from normal corneas and from corneas with Fuchs» Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD), a condition in which the cells responsible for keeping the cornea clear die prematurely — often leading to blindness.

Direct conversion or reprogramming of human postnatal cells into endothelial cells (ECs), bypassing stem or progenitor cell status, is crucial for regenerative medicine, cell therapy, and pathophysiological investigation but has remained largely unexplored.

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.
