Angiogenesis

Description

Proceedings of the 5th Biannual International Meeting, held July 1-7, 1999, in Crete, Greece. Angiogenesis, as a vastly complex biological process, has challenged researchers from all basic scientific disciplines, including pharmacology, biochemistry, physiology, embryology and anatomy. The significance of this phenomenon for the study of disease states has also interested clinicians from a number of specialist fields. This multidisciplinary work reflects the growth of awareness of concepts such as angiogenesis based therapy, the enormous therapeutic and commercial potential of which has attracted major research and investment in recent years. This volume, which aims to bridge the gap between basic and clinical methodology and understanding, presents the most up-to-date developments in this field.

First Sentence

Angiogenesis is the development of new and small blood vessels by budding and sprouting from larger, extant vessels (Beck Jr, and D'Amore, 1997, Bussolino, Montavani, and Pérsico, 1997).
