PPAR Gamma and Angiogenesis: Endothelial Cells Perspective

Figure 2

Endothelial progenitor cells and angiogenesis. EPCs were described as cells that are present in the bone marrow niche, from where, in response to injury or hypoxia, they are released into the blood and mobilized to the injured tissue. View of EPCs mode of action changes over time and today scientists postulate that their complex nature needs more studies; please see main text for more details.
