Low-molecular-weight fucoidan enhances the proangiogenic phenotype of endothelial progenitor cells

Description : 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 be...
