Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of putative progenitor endothelial cells for angiogenesis.
Takayuki Asahara,Toyoaki Murohara,Alison Sullivan,Marcy Silver,Rien van der Zee,Tong Li,Bernhard Witzenbichler,Gina C. Schatteman,Jeffrey M. Isner +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that EC progenitors may be useful for augmenting collateral vessel growth to ischemic tissues (therapeutic angiogenesis) and for delivering anti- or pro-angiogenic agents, respectively, to sites of pathologic or utilitarianAngiogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transplantation of ex vivo expanded endothelial progenitor cells for therapeutic neovascularization.
Christoph Kalka,Haruchika Masuda,Tomono Takahashi,Wiltrud M. Kalka-Moll,Marcy Silver,Marianne Kearney,Tong Li,Jeffrey M. Isner,Takayuki Asahara +8 more
TL;DR: Ex vivo expanded hEPCs may have utility as a "supply-side" strategy for therapeutic neovascularization in mice with hindlimb ischemia and the rate of limb loss was significantly reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endothelial Progenitor Cell Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Gene Transfer for Vascular Regeneration
Hideki Iwaguro,Jun-ichi Yamaguchi,Christoph Kalka,Satoshi Murasawa,Haruchika Masuda,Shin-ichiro Hayashi,Marcy Silver,Tong Li,Jeffrey M. Isner,Takayuki Asahara +9 more
TL;DR: In vivo, gene-modified EPCs facilitate the strategy of cell transplantation to augment naturally impaired neovascularization in an animal model of experimentally induced limb ischemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
PDGF-A Is Required for Normal Murine Cardiovascular Development
TL;DR: This work demonstrates directly for the first time that PDGF-A is required for normal cardiovascular development, identifies several processes that require PD GF-A, and defines discreet developmental periods during which these PDGF -A-dependent processes require the factor.
