Article Synopsis
- Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) found in cord blood show different properties compared to mature endothelial cells, particularly expressing higher levels of KDR and having a greater proliferation potential.
- Functional studies reveal that EPCs are more responsive to angiogenic factors, offering them better protection against cell death and enhanced support for hematopoiesis compared to mature endothelial cells like HUVECs.
- Research in NOD/SCID mice indicates that EPCs can colonize tissues, suggesting they retain some immature characteristics that may improve their effectiveness in tissue repair and potential applications in cell therapy.
