Angiogenesis is the physiological process through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing ones. It is a critical "balancing act" in the body: when working correctly, it heals wounds and supports growth; when imbalanced, it can fuel diseases like cancer or lead to chronic inflammatory conditions. How Angiogenesis Works : Pericytes and mural cells wrap around the

The process typically follows four major steps to remodel the vasculature: it heals wounds and supports growth

Medical research focuses on flipping the angiogenic "switch" depending on the condition:
