Angiogenesis is the physiological process by which new blood vessels are formed from pre-existing vessels. This process is essential for the growth, development, and repair of tissues throughout the body, as it helps to deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells and remove waste products. Angiogenesis plays a critical role in various physiological processes, including wound healing, embryonic development, and the menstrual cycle. However, abnormal angiogenesis is also associated with a number of diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and chronic inflammation. Researchers are studying angiogenesis to better understand its role in health and disease, with the goal of developing new therapeutic strategies for targeting angiogenesis in various conditions.
