Glucocorticoid Impaired the Wound Healing Ability of Endothelial Progenitor Cells by Reducing the Expression of CXCR4 in the PGE2 Pathway

Background: Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) can be used to treat ischemic disease in cell-based therapy owing to their neovascularization potential. Glucocorticoids (GCs) have been widely used as strong anti-inflammatory reagents. However, despite their beneficial effects, side effects, such as...
