The potency of adult-derived circulating progenitor endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs) is drastically surpassed by their fetal counterparts. square endothelium, constituting 12.5% of maternal vessel lumina. Cross-sections of comparable human vessels, hybridized for Y-chromosome, positively recognized endothelial-associated fetal cells. It appears that through ECFC donation, fetuses aid maternal uterine vascular growth in pregnancy, potentiating placental … [Read more…]
