Abstract

Angiogenesis is the process by which new vessels grow toward and into a tissue. It is required for several physiological processes including embryogenesis, corpus luteum formation, and wound healing. It is also a critical element in the pathogenesis of many disorders, most notably the rapid growth and metastasis of solid tumors.
