Angiogenesis Regulation

Meaning

Angiogenesis Regulation is the complex physiological process governing the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature. This tightly controlled biological function is essential for normal growth, wound healing, and reproductive cycles. In a clinical context, dysregulation of this process is often implicated in various pathological states, including tumor growth, where unchecked angiogenesis supplies necessary nutrients and oxygen. Maintaining a proper balance between pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors is vital for tissue health and homeostasis.
