Angiogenesis is emerging as a basic phenomenon at the level of the life sciences. Advances in biology and medicine have enabled a better understanding regarding the role of growth factors and intercellular messengers in microvascular growth and new blood vessel formation. This book brings together the many aspects and implications of Angiogenesis and its related phenomena. Interaction of such knowledge should accelerate the development of innovative drugs, methodologies and devices for biotechnology and medicine in areas as diverse as diabetic retinopathy, tumor growth, transplantations, fertility control, wound healing, ulcers, metabolic bone diseases, atherosclerosis, Kaposis's sarcoma and others. The reader will find a well-balanced account of current thought and teaching in this important subject. The value of the book has been greatly enhanced by the inclusion of introductories which will arouse interest in the functional as well as morphological aspects of Angiogenesis and will achieve overview and cross-fertilization of the many fields of knowledge for students and those who are more advanced in their careers.
