  2. 16. Pathogenic mechanisms behind dysregulated angiogenesis with focus on HIF and IGF-I signaling

    Author : Ileana Ruxandra Botusan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Angiogenesis is a complexly regulated process activated to assure cells with normal supplies of nutrients and oxygen. Playing such an essential role in the homeostasis of tissues, it is critical to understand its physiology and pathology to be able to design therapies for several diseases where angiogenesis is dysregulated (either excessive or diminished).
