Abstract

Numerous clinical and experimental studies have been performed on endothelial progenitor cells since their discovery in 1997. However, the lack of consensus on both their definition and study method is confusing. The purpose of this review is to describe the usual in vitro protocols, and the links with chronic renal insufficiency.
