Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs)

Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs) are a type of stem cell found in the bloodstream that help repair and form new blood vessels. Originating mainly from the bone marrow, they migrate to areas where blood vessels are injured or need growth, contributing to healing and maintaining healthy circulation. EPCs are vital for vascular health, aiding in tissue repair after injury and supporting the body's ability to adapt to changes in blood flow. Their availability and function are also linked to cardiovascular health, making them a focus of research for therapies related to heart and vascular diseases.
