Cell-based interventions for therapeutic angiogenesis: review of potential cell sources

Robert A Brenes et al. Vascular. 2012 Dec.

Abstract

Alternative therapies are currently being developed to treat patients with chronic limb ischemia who are unable to be revascularized in order to avoid amputation. Cell-based therapy using mononuclear cells is gaining attention as many clinical trials are currently underway. We review cell differentiation along with the different potential cell sources for use in therapeutic angiogenesis.
