Transplanted blood-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) enhance bridging of sheep tibia critical size defects

TLDR
A critical-sized gap platform was established in sheep tibiae to test whether blood-derived progenitor cells that have endothelial characteristics (EPC) would promote bone regeneration, and on the contrary, EPC transplantation led to formation of dense and massive woven bone all throughout the defect.

Role of angiogenesis in bone repair.

TL;DR: The current knowledge elaborating the importance of vascularization during bone healing and remodeling, and the current therapeutic strategies being adapted to promote and improve angiogenesis are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endothelial Progenitor Cells and Mesenchymal Stem Cells Seeded onto β-TCP Granules Enhance Early Vascularization and Bone Healing in a Critical-Sized Bone Defect in Rats

TL;DR: This cell approach suggests that there is a synergistic effect and that the initial stage of neovascularization by EPCs is considered to be crucial for complete bone regeneration in the late phase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue engineering strategies for promoting vascularized bone regeneration

TL;DR: This review addresses the concept of co-culture using osteogenic and vasculogenic stem cells, and how adipose derived stem cells compare to bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells in the promotion of angiogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Review of vascularised bone tissue‐engineering strategies with a focus on co‐culture systems

TL;DR: The final objective is to generate serious and functional long‐lasting vessels for sustainable angiogenesis that will enable enhanced cellular survival within thick voluminous bone grafts, thereby aiding in bone formation and remodelling in the long term.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo models of bone repair.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed an extensive literature search of animal models of long bone fracture repair/nonunion and grouped the resulting studies according to the clinical scenario they were attempting to reflect; they then scrutinised them for their reliability and accuracy in reproducing that clinical scenario.

Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation of putative progenitor endothelial cells for angiogenesis.

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

Ischemia- and cytokine-induced mobilization of bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells for neovascularization.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that circulating EPCs are mobilized endogenously in response to tissue ischemia or exogenously by cytokine therapy and thereby augment neovascularization of ischemic tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endothelial Progenitor Cells: Characterization and Role in Vascular Biology

TL;DR: This review summarizes the mechanisms regulating endothelial progenitor cell–mediated neovascularization and reendothelialization and describes the characterization of the different progenitors cell populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transplantation of ex vivo expanded endothelial progenitor cells for therapeutic neovascularization.

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

Transplantability and therapeutic effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal cells in children with osteogenesis imperfecta

TL;DR: Improvements in total body bone mineral content and growth velocity were associated with increases in growth velocity and reduced frequencies of bone fracture, indicating the feasibility of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta and perhaps other mesenchymal stem cell disorders as well.
