متن کاملCirculating endothelial precursor cells (EPC) in patients undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation.
We have studied the number of endothelial precursor cells in eighteen patients undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Endothelial precursor cells were evaluated by colony-forming assay and compared to healthy controls. Patients undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation had significantly lower numbers of endothelial precursor cells before the procedu...
