In an attempt to sort out the respective contributions of sprouting and intussusceptive
microvascular growth (IMG) during chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) development …

Intussusceptive microvascular growth (IMG) is a new mechanism of capillary growth: The
vascular network expands by insertion of newly formed columns of interstitial tissue …

Intussusceptive microvascular growth is a new mode of capillary network growth originally
described in the lungs of rabbits and rats. It constitutes an alternative to endothelial …

Intussusceptive angiogenesis is a novel mode of blood vessel formation and remodeling,
which occurs by internal division of the preexisting capillary plexus without sprouting. In this …

Various reports indicate that the process of intussusceptive microvascular growth (IMG)
plays a crucial role in capillary network formation of the chorio-allantoic membrane (CAM). In …

Objective—The concept of vascular pruning, the “cuting-off” of vessels, is gaining
importance due to expansion of angio-modulating therapies. The proangiogenic effects of …

The aim of our investigations was to test whether the chicken chorio-allantoic membrane
(CAM) could be an adequate in vivo model for a new mode of capillary growth, originally …

Intussusceptive pillars, regarded as a hallmark of intussusceptive angiogenesis, have been
described in developing vasculature of many organs and organisms. The aim of this study …

The chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is an extraembryonic membrane which
