Angiogenesis
Findings from J.Y. Luo and co-authors broaden understanding of angiogenesis
July 13th, 2009
According to a study from Guangzhou, People's Republic of China, "Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) improves ischemia inpatients with refractory angina pectoris, but the mechanism remains unclear. To explore the mechanisms of EECP action, we detected progenitor cells presenting any of the following markers CD34(+), CD29(+), and CD106(+)." "Growth cytokines-mediated progenitor cell mobilization and associated angiogenesis potential were assessed in a porcine model of hypercholesterolemia. Twenty-four male domestic swines were randomly assigned to 4 groups: normal diet (control, n=6), hypercholesterolemic diet (CHOL, n=6), hypercholesterolemic diet with...
