endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are a unique cell type found circulating in the peripheral blood with the capacity to become mature endothelial cells. EPCs can be released from many sources including the bone marrow, adipose tissue, the vessel wall, as well as potentially the spleen, liver, and
