TL;DR: The data suggest that CAC function is altered in T1D and may be improved after islet transplantation, and in vivo an improved angiogenic ability of ITA compared to T2D was shown.

TL;DR: In a cohort of 15 patients who received open-label empagliflozin for 12 weeks, CSCs declined nonsignificantly, whereas EPCs remained stable, thus, cardiovascular protection by SGLT2 inhibitors may not directly involve stem/progenitor cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that rosuvastatin had significant stimulatory effects on EPCs irrespective of the culture protocol, and induced anti‐inflammatory polarization of monocytic E PCs.

TL;DR: Impaired stem cell mobilization in diabetes is described as a mechanism of failed vascular repair and evidence that pharmacological strategies can restore mobilization is provided and the pharmacological exploitation of the G-CSF/DPP-4(CD26)/SDF-1α axis is described.

TL;DR: It is shown that the murine spleen contains OC+BAP+ cells with a phenotype similar to human MCCs, a high expression of adhesion molecules and CD11b, and capacity to calcify in vitro and in vivo, which promote atherosclerotic calcification in ApoE−/− mice through paracrine activity and modulation of resident cells by AIF-1 overexpression.
