Abstract: | New insights into the mechanisms by which blood vessels develop (angiogenesis) have been gained recently, primarily by the identification of factors that inhibit and promote this process. Angiogenesis-stimulating factors are being used to promote growth of new blood vessels in ischemic disease. In contrast, anti-angiogenesis factors are being used as inhibitors of neovascularization to control tumor growth and metastasis. |
