Endothelial Progenitor Cell Recruitment for Therapeutic Neovascularization using Alginate Hydrogels for VEGF and SDF Delivery
Endothelial progenitor cells are potentially useful as a cell therapy for the treatment of ischemic cardiovascular diseases, but clinical outcomes have been limited likely because very few systemically delivered cells reach the target tissue. Biomaterials may improve outcomes of endothelial progenit...
