Intratracheal transplantation of endothelial progenitor cells attenuates smoking-induced COPD in mice

BACKGROUND: Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) might play a protective role in COPD. The aim of this study was to investigate whether intratracheal allogeneic transplantation of bone-marrow-derived EPCs would attenuate the development of smoking-induced COPD in mice. METHODS: Isolated mononuclear c...
