A Review on Angiogenesis and Its Assays

Angiogenesis or formation of new blood vessels from preexisting vasculature is a key process in some physiological conditions such as wound healing, growth, and action of female reproductive organs. Moreover, disturbance of the mechanisms of physiological angiogenesis has a role in pathogenesis of some diseases in the form of overproliferation of blood vessels such as cancers, psoriasis, arthri...

Apoptosis , Angiogenesis and Cancer Therapies

Angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels from the existing vasculature, and is maintained in adult tissues by the balanced presence of both angiogenic inducers and inhibitors in the tissue milieu. When inducers predominate, vascular endothelial cells (VECs) become activated and in this activated VECs, distinct cell signaling pathways are initiated providing the specificity of anti-angiogen...

Morphine and Angiogenesis in Hypertensive Animals

angiogenesis and tumor

angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessel formation from existing ones, plays an important role in  the physiologic circumstances such as embryonic development, placenta formation, and wound healing. it is also crucial to progress of pathogenic processes of a variety of disorders, including tumor growth and metastasis. in general, angiogenesis process is a multi-factorial and highly structu...

Angiogenesis and Fibrogenesis in Chronic Liver Diseases

Pathologic angiogenesis appears to be intrinsically associated with the fibrogenic progression of chronic liver diseases, which eventually leads to the development of cirrhosis and related complications, including hepatocellular carcinoma. Several laboratories have suggested that this association is relevant for chronic liver disease progression, with angiogenesis proposed to sustain fibrogenes...
