Abstract
Flk-1 and flt-1 upregulation may mediate the angiogenic effect of cell transplantation and are augmented by vascular endothelial growth factor transgene expression, perhaps through a paracrine effect. Optimizing the angiogenic response to cell transplantation may maximize the benefit of cell transplantation strategies.
