Abstract
Following the process of vasculogenesis during development, angiogenesis generates new vascular structures through a variety of different mechanisms or modes. These different modes of angiogenesis involve, for example, increasing microvasculature density by sprouting of endothelial cells, splitting of vessels to increase vascular surface area by intussusceptive angiogenesis, fusion of capillaries to increase blood flow by coalescent angiogenesis, and the recruitment of non-endothelial cells by vasculogenic mimicry. The recent reporting on coalescent angiogenesis as a new mode of vessel formation warrants a brief overview of angiogenesis mechanisms to provide a more complete picture. The journal Angiogenesis is devoted to the delineation of the different modes and mechanisms that collectively dictate blood vessel formation, inhibition, and function in health and disease.
期刊介绍:
Angiogenesis, a renowned international journal, seeks to publish high-quality original articles and reviews on the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing angiogenesis in both normal and pathological conditions. By serving as a primary platform for swift communication within the field of angiogenesis research, this multidisciplinary journal showcases pioneering experimental studies utilizing molecular techniques, in vitro methods, animal models, and clinical investigations into angiogenic diseases. Furthermore, Angiogenesis sheds light on cutting-edge therapeutic strategies for promoting or inhibiting angiogenesis, while also highlighting fresh markers and techniques for disease diagnosis and prognosis.
