Oxygen sensing mesenchymal progenitors promote neo-vasculogenesis in a humanized mouse model in vivo.

Despite insights into the molecular pathways regulating hypoxia-induced gene expression, it is not known which cell types accomplish oxygen sensing during neo-vasculogenesis. We have developed a humanized mouse model of endothelial and mesenchymal progenitor co-transplantation to delineate the cellu...
