CD34⁺/M-cadherin⁺ bone marrow progenitor cells promote arteriogenesis in ischemic hindlimbs of ApoE⁻/⁻ mice.

BACKGROUND: Cell-based therapy shows promise in treating peripheral arterial disease (PAD); however, the optimal cell type and long-term efficacy are unknown. In this study, we identified a novel subpopulation of adult progenitor cells positive for CD34 and M-cadherin (CD34⁺/M-cad⁺ BMCs) in mouse an...
