Therapeutic Use of Specialized Endothelial Progenitor Cells

摘要

The invention relates to products, processes, and therapeutic methods for restoring blood flow to tissues at risk of becoming or being ischemic by inducing angiogenesis and/or vasculogenesis in tissues in need thereof by administering endothelial colony forming cells alone or in combination with other cell types and/or agents. In one aspect, the invention is useful for inducing angiogenesis and/or vasculogenesis in patients with ischemic disease including ischemic heart disease, and other ischemic vascular disorders.
