Funded Activity Summary

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the Australia. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), similar to stem cells, have strong self-renewal capabilities and the ability to mature further. There has been immense interest in using EPCs as they are believed to have a role in the growth and repair of blood vessels. This research systematically studies two candidate EPCs, the early EPC and the outgrowth EPC (OEC), and potentially paves the way for using EPCs to treat heart disease.
