The role of angiogenesis in cellular processes and disorders
Learn about angiogenesis, the assays you can use to explore it and some fascinating angiogenesis facts.
The physiological process that allows the growth of new blood vessels is called angiogenesis. In adults, this process should only occur during menstruation but when it goes awry can also be involved in disorders varying from asthma to cancer.
Scientists have made significant progress understanding the complex dynamics needed for angiogenesis to function normally, and there is increasing interest in targeting the process for therapeutic purposes.
