Angiogenesis Research Progress - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book is dedicated to new and important research in the field of angiogenesis which is a physiological process involving the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels. Though there has been some debate over this, vasculogenesis is the term used for spontaneous blood-vessel formation, and intussusception is the term for new blood vessel formation by splitting off existing ones. Angiogenesis is a normal process in growth and development, as well as in wound healing. However, this is also a fundamental step in the transition of tumours from a dormant state to a malignant state.
