The process of developing new blood vessels. Angiogenesis is critically important during the normal development of the embryo and fetus. It also appears to be important during tumor formation.

Blood vessel formation. Tumor angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. This process is caused by the release of chemicals by the tumor and by host cells near the tumor [..]

the formation of new blood vessels.

1896, from angio- + -genesis "birth, origin, creation."

The growth of new blood vessels that cells need to grow.  

Angiogenesis, the growth of new capillary blood vessels in the body, is an important natural process in the body used for healing and reproduction. The body controls angiogenesis by producing a precise balance of growth and inhibitory factors in healthy tissues. When this balance is disturbed, the result is either too much or too little angiogenesi [..]

Angiogenesis is the growth of blood vessels from the existing vasculature. It occurs throughout life in both health and disease, beginning in utero and continuing on through old age. No metabolically [..]

The formation of new blood vessels.

Formation or development of new blood vessels.

Blood vessel formation. Tumor angiogenesis is the growth of blood vessels from surrounding tissue to a solid tumor. This is caused by the release of chemicals by the tumor.

Definition: (an-gee-oh-GEN-eh-sis) Blood vessel formation or the growth of blood vessels between a tumor and surrounding tissue so the tumor can be nourished. Studies have found that prostate cancer t [..]

New Blood Vessels originating from the corneal Veins and extending from the limbus into the adjacent Corneal Stroma. Neovascularization in the superficial and/or deep Corneal Stroma is a sequel to num [..]

A pathologic process consisting in proliferation of Blood Vessels in abnormal Tissues or in abnormal positions.

The development of new Blood Vessels in restoration of Blood Circulation during the healing process.

Blood vessel formation. Tumor angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. This is caused by the release of chemicals by the tumor.

The formation of new blood vessels to support tissue. Angiogenesis enables tumours to develop their own blood supply, which helps them to survive and grow.

The growth of new blood vessels.

the growth of new blood vessels.

The formation of new blood vessels during embryogenesis, tissue repair, or tumorigenesis. Development of anti-angiogenic agents is a focus of anti-cancer strategies.

The process development of new blood vessels resulting in vascularisation of a tissue. This occurs normally following injury and is part of the repair mechanism. Angiogenesis is seen in cancer where angiogenic factors establish the blood supply for the malignant cells. Tumours cannot grow beyond 1 mm in volume without establishing a blood supply. ( [..]

Development of new blood vessels.

The formation of new blood vessels.

Blood vessel formation, which usually accompanies the growth of malignant tissue, including myeloma. Angiogenesis inhibitors

Growth of blood vessels. Growing cancers can attract new blood vessels to grow towards them so that they can get their own blood supply. Anti-angiogenic agents

The formation of new blood vessels. This enables tumours to develop their own blood supply, which helps them survive and grow.
