Angiomodulatory Agent

Meaning

An angiomodulatory agent is a therapeutic substance specifically designed to influence the process of angiogenesis, which is the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature. In the realm of health and longevity, these agents are clinically relevant for their capacity to either promote vascular growth, such as in tissue repair, or inhibit it, as in the context of certain proliferative diseases. These compounds interact directly with the endothelial cells that line blood vessels, altering their proliferation, migration, and structural organization. Strategic use of these agents holds promise for improving tissue perfusion and mitigating cardiovascular risk factors.
