Characterization of altered patterns of endothelial progenitor cells in sickle cell disease related pulmonary arterial hypertension

Endothelial dysfunction plays an important role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in sickle cell disease (SCD). A variety of evidence suggests that circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play an integral role in vascular repair. We hypothesized that SCD patients w...
