A Brief History of Blood and Lymphatic Vessels

Abstract

Vessels are not uniform tubes but are subdivided into arterial, venous, and lymphatic vessels. Large vessels (arteries, veins, large lymphatic trunks), medium-size vessels (arterioles, venules, medium-sized lymphatics), and capillaries are also distinguished. As we have just seen, the identification of the VEGF family had a considerable impact on both basic and clinical research (see below). Nevertheless, the simple picture that we had following Folkman’s work has become considerably more complicated and many modifications/corrections have been made at the cellular and molecular levels.
