VEGF promotes endothelial progenitor cell differentiation and vascular repair through connexin 43

BACKGROUND: Endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) differentiation is considered crucial for vascular repair. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induces EPC differentiation, but the underlying mechanism of this phenomenon remains unclear. Connexin 43 (Cx43) is reported to be involved in the regula...
