All Arteriogenesis Is Local? Home Boys Versus the Newcomers

All arteriogenesis is local? Home boys versus the newcomers.

Versus the Newcomers To the Editor: The article by Khmelewski et al1 raises an important question in the field of arteriogenesis: do circulating (mononuclear) cells play a functional role during the adaptive proliferation of preexistent collateral pathways? Khmelewski et al propose that local vascular macrophages, rather than circulating monocytes, are crucial during early phases of arteriogene...

Angiogenesis versus arteriogenesis.

In the vascular system, angiogenesis and arteriogenesis play a unique yet equally important role in both health and disease. Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from a preexisting vascular bed, occurs naturally during wound healing, the female menstrual cycle and pregnancy. It plays a critical role in tissue growth and repair, and is a highly controlled process that is dependent on...

All climate is local.

For years scientists have urged national leaders to tackle climate change, based on the assumption that prevention efforts would require the coordinated actions of entire nations to be effective. But as anyone who has watched the past 15 years of international climate negotiations can attest, most countries are still reluctant to take meaningful steps to lower their production of greenhouse gas...

Enhanced recovery after surgery versus perioperative surgical home: is it all in the name?

Arteriogenesis versus angiogenesis: similarities and differences

Cardiovascular diseases account for more than half of total mortality before the age of 75 in industrialized countries. To develop therapies promoting the compensatory growth of blood vessels could be superior to palliative surgical interventions. Therefore, much effort has been put into investigating underlying mechanisms. Depending on the initial trigger, growth of blood vessels in adult orga...
