Circulating Progenitor Cell Therapeutic Potential Impaired by Endothelial Dysfunction and Rescued by a Collagen Matrix

Angiogenic cell therapy is currently being developed as a treatment for coronary artery disease (CAD); however, endothelial dysfunction (ED), commonly found in patients with CAD, impairs the ability for revascularization to occur. We hypothesized that culture on a collagen matrix will improve surviv...
