Article Synopsis
- Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are essential for tissue repair and their presence in the bloodstream correlates with better outcomes in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients.
- A study found that infusing endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) from human umbilical cord blood into mice with TBI resulted in improved recovery.
- Mice receiving ECFCs showed reduced brain damage, better blood-brain barrier function, increased blood vessel growth, and significant improvements in motor skills and memory compared to those receiving a saline solution.
