Angiogenesis from preexisting

Neovascularization, the formation of new blood vessels, is an essential life process. TCDD interferes with neovascularization by inhibiting the formation of new capillary sprouts from preexisting vessels (angiogenesis). ... [Pg.484]

Angiogenesis, the formation of the new vascular network from preexisting vessels to supply the nutrition and oxygen to the growing tumor cells, is required for tumor expansion beyond 12 mm in diameter [3, 4, 22 26]. The same neovessel network may also function as a waste transportation pathway to remove the biological end products released from fast-growing tumor cells. It is in the tumor vasculature, the complex of tumor cells and surrounding... [Pg.22]

Angiogenesis The growth of new blood vessels from preexisting ones. [Pg.3764]

Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from preexisting capillaries, is an important research field. As the understanding of this process increases, this new knowledge will have a significant impact on several angiogenesis-dependent diseases. A wide variety of plants are rich in alkaloids, and these... [Pg.1439]

Angiogenesis refers to the process of new blood vessel formation from a preexisting vasculature that occurs under, either physiological or pathological conditions (Carmeliet, 2003). It is observed at tightly regulated... [Pg.121]
