Angiogenesis is a process of forming hierarchical vascular networks in living tissues. Its complexity makes the controlled generation of blood vessels in laboratory conditions a highly challenging ...

Blood vessels are the body’s essential architecture that exists in order to nurture cells with sufficient nutrients and oxygen. Angiogenesis, or the formation of new blood vessels, is of great ...

Using a new recipe for growing blood vessels from living lung tissue in the lab, a University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science research team has developed an analytical tool that ...

'Merlin' serves as a gatekeeper in new blood vessel formation. Merlin suppresses internalization of VEGFR2, which is important for the formation of 'tip' endothelial cells. Blood vessels are the ...
