Understanding how angiogenesis "works" and how to control it will
have massive implications on the management, treatments, and
ultimately the prevention of many common (and not so common)
diseases. Angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels and is an
important natural process in the body. A healthy body maintains a
perfect balance of angiogenesis modulators. In many serious disease
states, however, the body loses control over angiogenesis. Diseases
that are angiogenesis-dependent result when blood vessels either
grow excessively or insufficiently.
