The growth of abnormal blood vessels.
The development of blood vessels adjacent to a wound
Blood vessel formation. Angiogenesis that occurs in cancer is the growth of blood vessels from surrounding tissue to a solid tumor. Angiogenesis is necessary for a tumor to grow larger and for metastases to grow at secondary sites. It is stimulated by growth factors such as VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor).
Formation of blood vessels. Cancer tissues are able to encourage blood vessel formation. Experimental treatments (anti-angiogenesis) have been developed that try to reverse the blood vessel formation to cancer tissues.
The process by which new blood vessels are formed.
Development of new blood vessels, for example, in the embryo, in wounds, and in the growth and diffusion of tumors. An "anti-angiogenic" compound inhibits such development and therefore, in the oncology field, inhibits the growth of tumors.
Angiogenesis is the process by which new blood vessels form by sprouting from pre-existing vessels.
The formation of blood vessels needed by tumors in order to grow.
a process whereby the body can form new blood vessels
Process of developing new blood vessels (neovascularization)
the formation of new blood vessels.
The process of new blood vessel formation. Inducing angiogenesis around the heart, for example, may generate a natural heart bypass without the requirement of invasive surgery. Conversely, the prevention of angiogenesis is a goal for anti-cancer strategies where tumor death is achieved by cutting off the blood supply to tumors.
Formation and development of new blood vessels in the body. When coronary arteries are blocked or narrowed by arteriosclerosis, angiogenetic products can stimulate development of new blood vessels and often restore blood flow. Angiogenesis is required for malignant tumors to metastasize because it provides the newly created blood supply that tumors require.
the growth and proliferation of blood vessels.
The development of blood vessels. Angiogenesis is a major benefit of HBO therapy.
New blood vessel growth that increases skin circulation.
The process of vascularization of a tissue involving the development of new capillary blood vessels.
The process by which new blood vessels grow. Cancers can attract new blood vessels to grow towards them to supply them with oxygen and nutrients. Scientists are developing new cancer drugs that block this process in order to starve the tumour.
The growth of new blood vessels.
(ann-jee-o-JEH-nuh-sis) Formation and differentiation of blood vessels. Solid tumors often release chemicals to stimulate the growth of blood vessels from surrounding tissue into the tumor to feed the tumor's growth.
The birth of new blood vessels.
process of forming blood vessels in living tissue.
The process of development of new blood vessels. In cancer, the development of blood vessels can feed tumors and allow them to grow, and drugs that block angiogenesis are being tested as cancer treatment.
Development of new blood vessels. (SMD)
blood vessel formation. Tumor angiogenesis is the growth of blood vessels from surrounding tissue to a solid tumor. This is caused by the release of chemicals by the tumor.
Growth of blood vessels. Growing cancers can attract new blood vessels to grow towards them so that they can get their own blood supply.
(An-JEE-o-gen-i-sis) - The way tumors develop new blood vessels to provide nourishment so they can grow.
formation of new blood supplies
The process of developing new blood vessels.
The promotion or development of blood vessels; an increase in vascularization.
The process of forming new blood vessels
Migration and formation of capillary blood vessels by endothelial cells.
Blood vessel formation, which usually accompanies the growth of malignant tissue.
