SDF-1 Secreted by Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promotes the Migration of Endothelial Progenitor Cells via CXCR4/PI3K/AKT Pathway

The authors investigated whether stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1 secreted by mesenchymal stem cells contributed to endothelial progenitor cell migration to ischemic sites via CXCR4/Phosphoinositide 3-Kinases/protein kinase B signaling pathway.
