| 摘要 |
The present invention is directed to methods of isolating mammalian stem cel ls expressing the VEGF receptor VEGFR-1 and compositions thereof. The present invention is also directed to methods of using such isolated mammalian stem cells expressing VEGFR-1 to treat various conditions, which can involve inducing hematopoiesis, vasculogenesis and/or angiogenesis, myogenesis, and neurogenesis to treat the various condition. Finally, the present invention is directed to therapeutic methods using a molecule that binds and activates or stimulates VEGFR-1, for example, P1GF, to stimulate proliferation and/or differentiation and mobilization, i.e., motogenesis, of stem cells.
