Role and therapeutic potential of vascular stem/progenitor cells in pathological neovascularisation during chronic portal hypertension

Conclusions
These findings demonstrate that VSPC-derived neovessel growth (ie, vasculogenesis) and angiogenesis cooperatively stimulate mesenteric neovascularisation in PH and identify VSPC and CPEB4 as potential therapeutic targets.
