FactAngiogenesis: Distinguished from = Vasculogenesis: new vessels formed from angioblasts during embryonic development, not grown from existing vesselsFactAngiogenesis: Main types = Sprouting angiogenesis and intussusceptive (splitting) angiogenesisFactAngiogenesis: Key regulator = VEGF-A is the main factor that triggers sprouting when tissue lacks oxygen; Delta-Notch signalling determines which cells become tip cells and which become stalk cellsFactAngiogenesis: Therapeutic directions = Stimulating angiogenesis is studied for ischemic heart disease and wound healing; inhibiting it is used in cancer and eye diseaseFactAngiogenesis: Growth of research literature = About 2 manuscripts in 1970; more than 5,200 articles in 2009 publications per yearAnswerWhat is the difference between angiogenesis and vasculogenesis?AnswerWhy do tumors need angiogenesis?AnswerWhat is VEGF and what does it do in angiogenesis?AnswerDo stem cells improve fat graft survival through angiogenesis?AnswerWhat are the side effects of angiogenesis inhibitors?ArticleAngiogenesis: Definition, How New Blood Vessels Form, VEGF, Role in Disease, Therapies and Fat Grafting
