Novel Angiogenic Mechanisms : Role of Circulating Progenitor Endothelial Cells /

This volume illustrates the current lines of investigation of the angiogenic mechanisms based on contribution of circulating progenitor cells. The main themes that currently dominate this research field are: the origin of these cells, their tissue engraftment, their phenotypic modulation leading to...
