Biochemical Basis and Therapeutic Implications of Angiogenesis

Biochemical Basis and Therapeutic Implications of Angiogenesis edited by Jawahar Mehta, Naranjan S. Dhalla.

Angiogenesis plays a key role in human physiology and pathophysiology. While necessary for tissue growth and development, uncontrolled angiogenesis plays a role in the progression of certain tumors as well as atherosclerosis. Lack of angiogenesis may be the basis of myocardial ischemia and stroke. K...
