Cartilage as a Source of Natural Inhibitors of Angiogenesis

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Cancer Drug Discovery and Development ((CDD&D))

Abstract

Ever since tumor-induced neovascularization was recognized as one of the key parameters that control tumor growth, considerable effort has been expended to identify ways to inhibit angiogenesis (1–3). Two approaches have been attempted.
