New blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) is a fundamental event in the process of tumor
growth and metastatic dissemination. Hence, the molecular basis of tumor angiogenesis has …

The retina was first described by Herophilus of Chalcedon around 300 bc. It was named by
Rufos of Ephesus (c. 110 ad) and appeared to early anatomists as a surrounding net which …

In development, tissue regeneration or certain diseases, angiogenic growth leads to the
expansion of blood vessels and the lymphatic vasculature. This involves endothelial cell …

Angiogenesis plays a crucial role in wound healing by forming new blood vessels from
preexisting vessels by invading the wound clot and organizing into a microvascular network …

Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) regulate vascular development, angiogenesis
and lymphangiogenesis by binding to a number of receptors. VEGFR-1 is required for the …
