Research Abstract |
Previous studies have demonstrated that hypoxic preconditioning of bone marrow cells can enhance their potency for inducing therapeutic angiogenesis. However, the exact mechanism of hypoxic preconditioning is not fully understood. Furthermore, experiments have used cells from young healthy individuals. This study shows that hypoxic preconditioning increases the retention of bone marrow cells after implantation into ischemic tissue, and that it also enhances the angiogenic potential of the cells with aged or diabetes-related functional impairment.
