Role of platelets and leukocytes in modulation of vascular tone.

abstract：:Cell transplantation therapy for diabetes and Parkinson's disease offers hope for long-term alleviation of symptoms. However, successful protocols remain elusive due to obstacles, including rejection and lack of tropic support for the graft. To enhance engraftment, testis-derived postmitotic Sertoli cells have been co...
