The book presents the overview of the current knowledge in some
fields of vascular biology, addressing cellular and molecular
aspects of blood-vessel formation and their role in health and
disease. The major factors involved in the formation of blood
vessels are presented by scientists actively involved in this area
of research. Special emphasis is put on the presentation of various
molecular mechanisms not addressed in similar works to date. The
book is divided into three parts. The first part describes the
cells and mediators in angiogenesis. The significance of various
populations of potential endothelial progenitors is particularly
highlighted. The chapters of the second part focus on molecular
mechanisms, with special emphasis on the role of hypoxia,
gasotransmitters and reactive oxygen species as well as microRNAs
in regulation of angiogenic processes. In the third part, the
pathological aspects of disturbed aggravated or impaired
vascularization are discussed and new modalities for potential
therapies are presented. The book is intended for scientists and
PhD students in the fields of vascular biology and cancer research.
It may be of interest for medical professionals in the fields of
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, oncology and rheumatoid
arthritis.
