In vivo serial MR imaging of magnetically labeled endothelial progenitor cells homing to the endothelium injured artery in mice.
BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence of histopathological analyses suggests that endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play an important role in vascular diseases. Neointimal hyperplasia can be reduced by intravenous transfusion of EPCs after vascular injury in mice. Therefore, it would be advantageous to de...
