Angiogenesis and Vascularisation Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms in Health and Diseases

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...
