Endothelial Progenitor Cells at the Interface of Chronic Kidney Disease: From Biology to Therapeutic Advancement.

Background: The 'epidemic' diffusion of chronic kidney disease (CKD) needs the development of new therapeutic approaches to slow down the progression to end-stage renal disease. Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs) are promising tools for the treatment of many human diseases as they promote the repair of damaged tissues. They were also suggested as therapy to repair renal tissue after an injury.
