Angiogenesis in health and disease

Angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessel formation, is essential for tissue growth and repair. Though it plays an important physiological role, it also contributes to disease progression in conditions such as cancer and age-related macular degeneration. Elucidation of the mechanisms of angiogenesis has resulted in the development of potential therapies for the inhibition of tumour progression, however, cancer cells can show resistance to these therapies via a number of mechanisms, and therefore a greater understanding of the pathways and factors that regulate the angiogenesis process is important for the further development of effective treatment strategies.
This Collection gathers studies that explore angiogenesis under physiological and pathological conditions, including in cancer and cardiovascular disease, as well as the potential of therapeutic agents that target specific proteins or pathways to stimulate or inhibit the process.
