Fig. 4From: High mobilization of CD133+/CD34+ cells expressing HIF-1α and SDF-1α in septic abdominal surgical patientsProposed mechanism of the SDF-1α-mediated mobilization of EPC (CD133+/CD34+) in septic patients. SDF-1α, stromal derived factor 1 alpha; EPC, endothelial progenitor cell; HIF-1α, hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha. See Discussion for detailsBack to article page
