Peptide-Mediated Angiogenesis

Meaning

Peptide-Mediated Angiogenesis describes the physiological process of forming new blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature, specifically driven and regulated by the action of signaling peptides. This process is crucial for tissue repair, wound healing, muscle recovery, and maintaining the perfusion of vital organs. Certain synthetic and naturally occurring peptides are utilized clinically to promote controlled angiogenesis, thereby enhancing oxygen and nutrient delivery to ischemic or damaged tissues.
