Angiogenesis and Vascularisation Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms in Health and Diseases / edited by Józef Dulak, Alicja Józkowicz, Agnieszka Łoboda.

The book presents  the overview of the current knowledge in some fields of vascular biology, addressing cellular and molecular aspects of blood-vessel formation and their role in health and disease. The major factors involved in the formation of blood vessels are presented by scientists actively inv...
