[blood vessel, blood vessels, vascular remodeling, arteriogenesis, vessel sprouting, revascularization]
Angiogenesis is the preferred term for processes leading to the generation of new blood vessels through sprouting (see below) from already existing blood vessels in a process involving the migration and proliferation of endothelial cells from preexisting vessels. Blood vessel growth occurs in the embryo and rarely in the adult with exceptions such as the female reproductive system, wound healing, and pathological processes such as cancer (Carmeliet, 2000; Carmeliet and Jain, 2000; Patan, 2004). Some authors have referred to this process as hemangiogenesis (see, for example, Parsons-Wingerter et al, 2006) to distinguish it from Lymphangiogenesis
