Laser-made channels and progenitor cells spawn new vessels in ischemic limbs
June 17th, 2005
Laser made channels and progenitor cells spawn new vessels in ischemic limbs. According to recent research from the Peoples Republic of China, "the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of transmuscle laser revascularization (TMR) in combination with endothelial progenitor cell grafting on neovascularization of ischemic hindlimbs of nude rats. Mononuclear cells (MNCs) isolated from human umbilical cord blood (HUCB) by density gradient centrifugation were expanded in vitro." "Spindle-shaped attaching (AT) cells and cord-like structures were developed from culture of MNCs. Acetylated low-density lipoprotein (Ac-LDL) incorporation by AT cells...
