Mobilisation zirkulierender endothelialer Progenitorzellen bei Patienten mit akutem Myokardinfarkt
The role of the EPCs in context of the acute myocardial infarction is not completely understood and therefore subject of intense research activities. It still remains unclear if these EPCs are mobilized specifically and if they present the same functional potency as those of patients with chronic …

A Critical Role Of Cxcr2 Pdz Motif-Mediated Interactions In Endothelial Progenitor Cell Homing And Angiogenesis
… marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) participate in postnatal vascularization in response to growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines. Chemokine receptor CXCR2 and its cognate ligands are reported to mediate EPC recruitment and angiogenesis. CXCR2 possesses a consensus …

A Tissue-Engineered Microvascular System to Evaluate Vascular Progenitor Cells for Angiogenic Therapies
… blood-derived endothelial progenitor cells (hCB-EPCs) with mural cells can produce the microenvironmental cues necessary to support physiological microvessel formation in vitro; (2) poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogel systems can support 3D microvessel formation by hCB-EPCs in coculture with …

Peripheral arterial disease and diabetes: effects on endothelial progenitor cell differentiation and nitric oxide metabolism
… referred to as endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), since they exhibit endothelial surface markers and properties. They can promote postnatal vasculogenesis by homing to, differentiating into an endothelial phenotype, proliferating and incorporating into new vessels. Consequently, EPCs are …

Characterization and Assessment of Lung and Bone Marrow Derived Endothelial Cells and their Bone Regenerative Potential
… regeneration. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were selected due to their ability to form tube-like networks in vitro. EPCs were isolated from murine bone marrow and lung tissue. We tested EPC’s tube forming, proliferative, and wound migration ability in vitro. To test their ability in …

Nanofiber-based therapy for diabetic wound healing: a mechanistic study
… cells (ECs) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) into the wounds in diabetic mouse model, resulting in enhanced neovascularization and accelerated wound healing. However, in order to utilize the full potential of the peptide nanofibers for treatment of diabetic ulcers, it is necessary to …

Endothelial progenitor cells, uraemic toxins, and the development of endothelial dysfunction in chronic kidney disease.
… (BM) derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which have key roles in maintenance, repair and growth of the endothelium. There is limited data about the role of EPCs and CVD in the ESKD population. This uraemic milieu includes p-cresol (sulfate, PC/S) and indoxyl sulfate (IS), toxins …

Embodied Pedagogical Agents: From Visual Impact to Pedagogical Implications
… experience of embodied pedagogical characters (EPCs) is too important to be treated as a secondary issue – not the least with respect to central pedagogical goals to motivate and engage. The main conclusions of the thesis are: (i) that visual aspects in EPCs can be related to pedagogical …

A study into the variability of UK domestic energy assessments
… results of the energy performance certificates (EPCs) they produce using the RdSAP software model, that will have implications for the wider context outlined here. In achieving this, the research utilises a mixed methods approach to look first at the findings of a number of semi-structured …

Redefining endothelial progenitor cells using a proteomics approach
The concept of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) has attracted considerable interest in cardiovascular research, but despite a decade of research there are still no specific markers for EPCs and results from clinical trials remain controversial. To identify membrane proteins, which could serve as …

Vasogenic bloodborne progenitors and diabetes
… cells called Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs). EPC is an umbrella term applied to three distinct populations of vasoactive progenitors which contribute to adult (postnatal) angiogenesis in different ways. The circulating EPC can be identified via flow cytometry from peripheral blood …

Optimal pathway towards building EPC rating improvements align with building energy performance certificate programme
… enhancing energy performance is critical. EPCs have been introduced globally to assess and promote energy efficiency in buildings. However, the uptake of EPCs and adherence to the recommended EEMs have been limited, especially in countries like South Africa and Scotland. In South Africa, …

Energy certification of residential buildings in the Mediterranean climate
… application of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) to housing in the Mediterranean regions of Europe, with the purpose of establishing whether the current calculation methodologies in use for the generation of EPCs accurately represent the energy performance of housing in the region. The …

Diabete ed ischemia critica degli arti inferiori. Studio del danno della parete arteriosa e del ruolo dell'endotelio circolante nella riparazione tessutale e nella neoangiogenesi
… of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were observed. Moreover, circulating endothelial cells (CECs) have been described in different conditions of vascular injury. In this type of disorders, which are all characterized by endothelial damage, neoangiogenesis plays a key role. …

An exploration of building energy performance and financial value with demonstration on UK offices
… set out to evaluate the validity of EPCs as signals of occupier satisfaction with office facilities; and to understand whether occupant attitudes towards environmental issues have affected commercial office rental values. This was achieved by surveying occupant satisfaction with their …

Estudio de las vías de señalización implicadas en la sobreexpresión de la proteína hemooxigenasa-1 en células endoteliales progenitoras estimuladas con secretoma aterosclerótico
… grupo, se estudió la expresión diferencial de EPCs en respuesta a la incubación directa con los secretomas procedentes de arterias ateroscleróticas frente a arterias no-ateroscleróticas, encontrando variaciones de ciertas proteínas, entre ellas la sobreexpresión de HMOX1. De acuerdo con estos …

CD133 Antibody Conjugation to Decellularized Human Heart Valves For Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cell Capture
… circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). Decellularized human pulmonary valve tissue was conjugated with CD133 antibody at varying concentrations and exposed to CD133 expressing NTERA-2 cl.D1 (NT2) cells in a microflow chamber. The amount of CD133 antibody conjugated on the valve …
