Vasculogenic mimicry (VM), a new pattern of tumor microcirculation, is important for the
growth and progression of tumors. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is pivotal in …

Tumors require a blood supply for growth and hematogenous metastases. Until recently,
most research in this area has focused on the role of angiogenesis, the recruitment of new …

Tumor vascularization, which is mainly contributed by angiogenesis and vascularization, is
necessary for tumor maintenance and progression. Vasculogenic mimicry (VM), vascular …

Tumors require a blood supply for survival, growth, and metastasis. It is widely accepted that
the development of the tumor microcirculation compartment need the production of new …

Solid tumors carry out the formation of new vessels providing blood supply for growth, tumor
maintenance, and metastasis. Several processes take place during tumor vascularization. In …

Objective Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) channels that are lined by tumor cells are a functional
blood supply in malignant tumors. However, the role of VM-initiating cells remains poorly …

Background Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) is the formation of vascular channels by tumor cells
or tumor cell-derived, trans-differentiated cells in highly aggressive, solid tumors. However …

Vasculogenic mimicry (VM), a newly-defined pattern of tumor blood supply, provides a
special passage without endothelial cells and is conspicuously different from angiogenesis …

Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) is a vascular formation mechanism used by aggressive tumor
cells. VM provides an alternative pathway for adequate blood perfusion and challenges the …

Vascular mimicry is induced by a wide array of genes with functions related to cancer
stemness, hypoxia, angiogenesis and autophagy. Vascular mimicry competent (VM …
