Are Endothelial Progenitor Cells the Real Solution for Cardiovascular Diseases? Focus on Controversies and Perspectives

Figure 3

Critical aspects of the EPC relevance as possible solutions for vascular impairment and clinical applications. As reported in the figure and text (see Section 5), four critical aspects reduce the EPC potentiality as potential actors of endothelium repair, optimal CVD biomarkers, and therapy agents.
