Angiogenesis and Blood Vessel Repair (Patreon)

Angiogenesis and blood vessel repair are two related but distinct processes in the body that play crucial roles in maintaining proper  blood flow, tissue repair, and wound healing.

Angiogenesis refers to the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones. This process occurs naturally in the body during  growth and development, wound healing, and the formation of granulation tissue. It is also essential for maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system. The process of angiogenesis is tightly regulated by a balance of pro-angiogenic factors (such as vascular endothelial growth factor, or VEGF) and anti-angiogenic factors (such as angiostatin and endostatin).

Blood vessel repair is the process of healing damaged blood vessels, which can be caused by injury, inflammation, or disease. The repair process is crucial for maintaining the integrity and function of the vascular system.

Both angiogenesis and blood vessel repair are essential for maintaining tissue health and integrity, delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells, and removing waste products. Dysregulation of these processes can contribute to  various diseases, including cancer, chronic inflammation, and cardiovascular disorders.
