Screenen en engineeren van extracellulaire matrix omgevingen voor de controle van bloedvatvorming KU Leuven
Tissues and organs must form new blood vessels in order to develop, grow and repair after injury. Unfortunately, cancerous tumours adopt similar mechanisms of vessel formation. As a result, understanding and controlling blood vessel growth from existing blood vessels (termed angiogenesis) is of critical importance in medicine. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of many different molecules, including proteins, glycoproteins, ...
