    • Endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) transplantation is a potential means of inducing neovascularization in vivo. However, the number of circulating EPC is relatively small, it may thus be necessary to enhance their proangiogenic properties ex vivo prior to injection in vivo. Fucoidan has previously been shown to potentiate in vitro tube formation by mature endothelial cells in the presence of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2)...

    • Endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) are defined as a population of bone marrow-derived monocytes that migrate to sites of vascular injury and participate in new blood vessel formation, either by proliferation or by paracrine mechanisms. In circulation, these cells are thought to bear certain cell surface markers such as CD34, CD133, and VEGFR2 that permit enumeration by flow cytometry. While the capacity to grow in culture is another defining feature of EPC, methodology of culture assays and the constituents of the resultant EPC colonies remain a subject of controversy...
