  • Methods of screening for compounds that modulate blood vessel formation from circulating endothelial cell precursors
    Publication number: 20020172935
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of screening for agents that promote or inhibit vasculogenesis or angiogenesis. As one embodiment, the invention provides a method of screening for agents that modulate blood vessel formation from circulating endothelial cell precursors or migrating mesodermal stem cells. The invention further provides methods of using the identified agents to promote or inhibit vasculogenesis from circulating endothelial precursor cells in a tumor, tissue, organ, or graft. Also provided are methods of preventing and treating neovascular-dependent diseases using agents identified by the screening methods of the invention.
