Angiogenesis
Angiogenesis is the physiological process through which new
blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels. This is distinct from
vasculogenesis, which is the
de novo formation of
endothelial cells from
mesoderm cell precursors. The first vessels in the developing
embryo form through vasculogenesis, after which angiogenesis is responsible for most, if not all, blood vessel growth during development and in disease.
