Angiogenic Factors

Meaning

Angiogenic factors are a class of polypeptide growth factors and signaling molecules that exert a powerful influence on the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature. These molecules are fundamentally important for tissue growth, repair, and the essential maintenance of circulatory capacity throughout the body. In the domain of hormonal health, their controlled activity directly links tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery to the functional integrity of endocrine glands and peripheral target organs.
