Abstract
RATIONALE: Bone marrow (BM) cells play an important role in physiological and therapeutic neovascularization. However, it remains unclear whether any specific uncultured BM cell populations have higher angiogenic and vasculogenic activities. Moreover, there has been controversy regarding the vasculogenic ability of BM cells. OBJECTIVE: Preliminary flow cytometric analysis showed that CD31, traditionally a marker for endothelial cells, is expressed in certain nonendothelial BM mononuclear cells in both human and mouse. Based on the conserved CD31 expression in the axis of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSC/HPCs) to endothelial cells, we further sought to determine the comprehensive vasculogenic and angiogenic characteristics of human and mouse BM-derived CD31(+) cells. METHODS AND RESULTS: Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that all CD31(+) cells derived from BM were CD45(+) and expressed markers for both HSC/HPCs and endothelial cells. Comprehensive gene expression analyses revealed that BM-CD31(+) cells expressed higher levels of angiogenic genes than CD31(-) cells. Endothelial progenitor cells, as well as HSC/HPCs, were almost exclusively confined to the CD31(+) cell fraction, and culture of CD31(+) cells under defined conditions gave rise to endothelial cells. Finally, injection of CD31(+) cells into ischemic hindlimb repaired ischemia, increased expression of angiogenic and chemoattractive factors, and, in part, directly contributed to vasculogenesis, as demonstrated by both 3D confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that BM-CD31(+) cells represent highly angiogenic and vasculogenic cells and can be a novel and highly promising source of cells for cell therapy to treat ischemic cardiovascular diseases.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
