Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs) for Fracture Healing and Angiogenesis: A Comparison with Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of two types of stem/progenitor cells on the healing of critical sized bone defects in a rat model. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), a novel cell type with previously demonstrated effects on both osteogenesis and angiogenesis, were compared t...
