Model: Balloon endoluminal injury of the right carotid artery
HiPS-IL8RA/B-ECs homed to the injured artery, reduced inflammatory mediator expression and inflammatory cell infiltration, accelerated re-endothelialisation and attenuated neointima formation, whereas control HiPS-ECs and HiPS-Null-ECs did not.
