Cover: The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) treated with different concentrations of sonic hedgehog (shh) protein was analyzed by immunofluorescence. It showed that shh protein could promote VEGF expression in bone marrow-derived EPC and was promising in therapeutic angiogenesis (page 685-693).
