Skin burns are an acute trauma involving an extensive vascular damage and an intense inflammatory response. Bone marrow-derived circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) are known to migrate to sites of neovascularization in response to mediators (vascular endothelial growth factor and stromal cell-derived factor-1) released after trauma and ischemia, to contribute to wound healing, and to increase neovascularization of animal prefabricated flaps. Recent data showed an increase in EPC number in burned patients and a positive correlation between EPC number and total body surface area (TBSA) burnt, but data were limited to the first 5 days after thermal injury.
