## Abstract Cord blood and peripheralβadult blood were compared as different sources of early endothelial precursor cells (eEPCs). Total mononuclear cells (MNCs) were obtained from both blood types and committed to eEPCs by exposure to fibronectin, VEGF, IGFβI, and bFGF. Under this condition, MNCs
Patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) have profound immune deficiencies. In 65% of these patients, there is an increased intra-tumoral presence of immune-suppressive CD34 Ψ progenitor cells. The goal of the present study was to determine whether CD34 Ψ cell levels were also inc
