What Are the Implications of Angiogenesis Regulators?
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is crucial for tumor growth and metastasis. Regulators of angiogenesis, such as VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), promote the development of blood vessels to supply nutrients to the tumor. Anti-angiogenic therapies, like bevacizumab, target these pathways to starve the tumor of its blood supply.
