This work identified increased circulating EPC levels during pregnancy, following the same trend both in MS patients and healthy controls. Despite the similar trend, the levels of circulating EPCs were significantly higher in MS patients with respect to the control population. A correlation was also found in MS patients between cord blood EPCs and circulating EPCs at delivery.
