Abstract

It is important to have methods and models that allow the study of angiogenesis. Obviously, the field of angiogenesis uses all the experimental methods of cellular, molecular, and developmental biology. Nevertheless, angiogenesis research needs some very specific methods and models that require precise technical knowledge. These can be classified into three categories: in vitro models, ex vivo models, and in vivo models.
