Models of postnatal angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. Recruitment of endothelial cells from preexisting vessel wall or CEPs plays a critical role in the regulation of postnatal angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. Mobilized BM-derived CEPs with high proliferative capacity may have the potential to home and incorporate into the injured tissue or tumor vascular bed.
