Abstract
Hemangioblasts in adult bone marrow participate in new blood vessel formation. By modulating the differentiation of hemangioblasts into blood vessel cells, angiogenesis in a particular tissue can be increased or decreased. Intravitreal injection of antibodies that block SDF-1 activity inhibited induced retinal neovascularization mediated by hemangioblasts.
