Aspirin abates endothelial progenitor cell proliferation and vasculogenic capacity
Published in Blood Weekly, May 11th, 2006
Scientists in the People's Republic of China conducted a study "to investigate whether aspirin has an influence on EPC. Total mononuclear cells (MNC) were isolated from peripheral blood by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation, then cells were plated on fibronectin-coated culture dishes. After 7 d of culture, attached cells were stimulated with aspirin (to achieve final concentrations of 1, 2, 5, and 10 mmol/L) for 3, 6, 12, and 24 h."
