Abstract
The authors performed morphological and functional studies of the mitochondria in particular blood cells, i.e., endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs), from patients with moyamoya disease. The results indicated that the mitochondria of these ECFCs exhibit morphological and functional abnormalities, which may present new insights into the pathogenesis of moyamoya disease.
