Endothelial SCs create microvascular networks within tissue-engineered construct
Published in Cancer Weekly, October 12th, 2004
According to investigators in the United States, "Tissue engineering may offer patients new options when replacement or repair of an organ is needed. However, most tissues will require a microvascular network to supply oxygen and nutrients."
"One strategy for creating a microvascular network would be promotion of vasculogenesis in situ by seeding vascular progenitor cells within the biopolymeric construct. To pursue this strategy," wrote X. Wu and colleagues, "we isolated CD34+/CD133+ endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) from human umbilical...
