cues | mechanism of enhancing endothelialization | effect of endothelialization |
---|---|---|
Fn, collagen or decellularized ECMs | integrin-induced endothelial cell adhesion | slow (for days) and limited endothelialization |
CD34 antibody | capturing of EPCs (containing early EPCs) | rapid (for hours) endothelialization but the captured EPCs may differentiate into SMCs |
peptide aptamer | capturing of late EPCs | rapid, pure but limited endothelialization due to small amount of late EPCs |
