Circulating Vascular Progenitor Cells in Moyamoya Disease
Various approaches have been attempted in translational moyamoya disease research. One promising material for modeling and treating this disease is vascular progenitor cells, which can be acquired and expanded from patient peripheral blood. These cells may provide a novel experimental model and enable us to obtain insights regarding moyamoya disease pathogenesis. We briefly present the recent a...
متن کاملSmooth Muscle Progenitor Cells: Friend or Foe in Vascular Disease?
The origin of vascular smooth muscle cells that accumulate in the neointima in vascular diseases such as transplant arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis and restenosis remains subject to much debate. Smooth muscle cells are a highly heterogeneous cell population with different characteristics and markers, and distinct phenotypes in physiological and pathological conditions. Several studies have re...
متن کاملVascular wall progenitor cells in health and disease.
The vasculature plays an indispensible role in organ development and maintenance of tissue homeostasis, such that disturbances to it impact greatly on developmental and postnatal health. Although cell turnover in healthy blood vessels is low, it increases considerably under pathological conditions. The principle sources for this phenomenon have long been considered to be the recruitment of cell...
متن کاملProgenitor cells in pulmonary vascular remodeling
Pulmonary hypertension is characterized by cellular and structural changes in the walls of pulmonary arteries. Intimal thickening and fibrosis, medial hypertrophy and fibroproliferative changes in the adventitia are commonly observed, as is the extension of smooth muscle into the previously non-muscularized vessels. A majority of these changes are associated with the enhanced presence of α-SM-a...
متن کاملVascular Regeneration by Stem/Progenitor Cells.
Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death worldwide. Many cardiovascular events, such as stroke and coronary heart disease, strongly correlate with loss of blood supply, leading to loss of cell function, organ failure, and eventually death. Vascular regeneration, which includes restoration of normal vascular structure and function, the reversal of vascular senescence, and the growth of n...
