Transplanted Endothelial Progenitor Cells Augment the Survival Areas of Rat Dorsal Flaps

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been identified in peripheral blood, and have been reported to be incorporated into ischemic regions such as the ischemic hindlimb. In this study, we examined whether or not transplantation of EPCs is useful for salvaging surgical flaps in vivo. At the same t...
