Brief description Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been thought to play a role in new blood vessel growth and repair of the heart & blood vessels. Owing to their potential regenerative capacity, there has been immense interest in EPCs as a means of facilitating new blood vessel growth for sufferers of cardiovascular disease. This study will comprehensively evaluate the role of EPCs in new blood vessel formation. It will have implications for potential use of EPCs to treat heart disease.
