Vascular networks are formed and maintained through a multitude of angiogenic processes,
such as sprouting, anastomosis and pruning. Only recently has it become possible to study …

Blood vessel development is a vital process during embryonic development, during tissue
growth, regeneration and disease processes in the adult. In the past decade researchers …

The vascular system is a hierarchically organized network of blood vessels that play crucial
roles in embryogenesis, homeostasis and disease. Blood vessels are built by endothelial …

Morphological change in endothelial cells is an initial and crucial step in the process of
establishing a functional vascular network. Following or associated with differentiation and …

Research into areas as divergent as hemangiopoiesis and cardiogenesis as well as
investigations of diseases such as cancer and diabetic retinopathy have converged to form …

The formation and remodeling of a functional circulatory system is critical for sustaining
prenatal and postnatal life. During embryogenesis, newly differentiated endothelial cells …

The formation of new blood vessels is a crucial step in the development of any new tissue
both during embryogenesis and in vitro models as without sufficient perfusion the tissue will …

A complex and diverse vascular system is requisite for the survival of higher organisms. The
