Transplantation of Monocytes: A Novel Strategy for In Vivo Augmentation of Collateral Vessel Growth
Abstract
Therapeutic augmentation of collateral vessel growth (arteriogenesis) is of particular clinical interest. Because monocytes localize to areas of collateral growth and create a highly arteriogenic environment through secretion of multiple growth factors, we tested the hypothesis that monocyte "homing" can therapeutically be exploited. We have used a rabbit model of arteriogenesis to investigate the therapeutic potential of transplanted rabbit …
