Annu. Rev. Med., 2005•annualreviews.orgEndothelial progenitor cells are a circulating, bone marrow–derived cell population that
appears to participate in both vasculogenesis and vascular homeostasis. Questions persist
regarding their functional characteristics, as well as the precise panel of cell surface markers
that uniquely define this newly described progenitor cell population. We review experimental
results obtained from both animal studies and recent clinical trials that suggest this cell type
may have tremendous therapeutic potential for a wide range of human diseases.
