Platelets of Healthy Origins Promote Functional Improvement of Atherosclerotic Endothelial Progenitor Cells

The purpose was to evaluate the effect of platelets on functional properties of late endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), in the direct co-culture conditions, and to investigate the involved mediators, in experimental induced atherosclerosis. The late EPCs obtained from two animal groups, hypertensi...
