The culture of unselected BMMNC in 3D fibrin matrices led to the formation of cell clusters expressing the endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) markers CD133, CD34, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-2, and c-kit, with stellar shaped spreading of peripheral elongated cells forming tube-like structures with increasing complexity over time.
