tumörvaskularisering
Tumörvaskularisering, also known as tumor angiogenesis, is a biological process where new blood vessels form to supply a growing tumor with oxygen and nutrients. This process is crucial for tumor growth and progression, as it enables the tumor to outpace the limited blood supply available in its immediate vicinity. Tumor angiogenesis is regulated by a complex interplay of pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors, including growth factors, cytokines, and matrix metalloproteinases.
The process of tumor angiogenesis typically involves the following steps: 1) activation of endothelial cells, which
Tumörvaskularisering plays a significant role in cancer progression and metastasis. Inhibiting tumor angiogenesis has been a
