Description

An interdisciplinary group of researchers have developed a microfluidic device that can test for the number of beneficial circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in the blood stream of patients with cardiovascular disease. The number of EPCs in the blood can be used as a biomarker for risk assessment, disease progression and the response to therapy.
