Cover: Immunofluorescence staining of inducted endothelial progenitor cells (EPC). UCB-derived EPC were stained positive for KDR, VE-cadherin, vWF, and UEA-1 on d 10. in addition, more than 90% of the spindle-shaped cells on d 7 took up Dil-ac-LDL, one of the characteristics of endothelial cells. Images were viewed using fluorescence microscopy (×100) (page 367-374).
