Vascularization is the connection of an organ to the blood system and thus can also correspond to a new formation of smaller vessels. In the case of pathologic neovascularization, such as the systemic connection of a tumor, it is also referred to as neovascularization. In medical practice, vascularization plays a role mainly therapeutically. What is … Vascularization: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
All processes of new vessel formation that take place in the organism of an adult human are summarized as vascularization, most notably angiogenesis. Neovascularization, on the other hand, is more commonly known as pathological and thus pathologically excessive new formation of vessels. This neovascularization occurs, for example, in the context of cancer and serves to … Neovascularization: Function, Role & Diseases
Arteriogenesis refers to the growth of collateral arteries after stenosis and is distinct from angiogenesis. Factors such as shear forces, vascular dilatation, and monocyte accumulation play a role in the process. In the future, patients will likely be able to undergo “natural” bypass by inducing arteriogenesis. What is arteriogenesis? Arteriogenesis refers to the growth of … Arteriogenesis: Function, Role & Diseases
Vasculogenesis is a process of embryonic development in which the vascular system arises from endothelial progenitor cells. Vasculogenesis is followed by angiogenesis, which causes the first vessels to sprout into the bloodstream. In the broadest sense, cancer can be considered a vasculogenetic problem. What is vasculogenesis? Vasculogenesis is a process of embryonic development in which … Vasculogenesis: Function, Role & Diseases
