Abstract
Angiogenesis is the process of new blood vessel formation. It occurs physiologically in the developing embryo where the process leads to establishment of both the microvasculature and microvasculature. In the postnatal state, angiogenesis occurs in only a few selected tissues and in many pathologic conditions. It is only in the last two decades that attempts at identifying factors that regulate this process have yielded some information. This chapter summarizes some of the salient features of angiogenesis in health and disease and looks at the various factors that are involved in its regulation.
