Objectives Cell-derived microparticles (MPs) are small plasma membrane-derived vesicles shed from circulating blood cells and may act as novel biomarkers of vascular disease. We investigated the potential of circulating MPs to predict (a) carotid pl... Read More about Predicting Carotid Artery Disease and Plaque Instability from Cell-derived Microparticles.

Resistance Exercise Increases Endothelial Progenitor Cells and Angiogenic Factors (2014)
Journal Article
Ross, M. D., Wekesa, A. L., Phelan, J. P., & Harrison, M. (2014). Resistance Exercise Increases Endothelial Progenitor Cells and Angiogenic Factors. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 46(1), 16-23. https://doi.org/10.1249/mss.0b013e3182a142da

Bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) are involved in vascular growth and repair. They increase in the circulation after a single bout of aerobic exercise, potentially related to muscle ischemia. Muscular endurance resistance exercis...
