Vasculogenesis and angiogenesis are the pro-cesses responsible for the development of
the circulatory system, the first functional unitin the developing embryo (1). Postnatal
angiogenesis is encountered in pathologic situations such as diabetic retinopathy, arthritis,
and, most notably, tumor growth and metastasis. It is also involved in therapeutic
angiogenesis: the development of collateral blood vessels supplying ischemic tissues, either
endogenously or in response to ad-ministration of growth factors.
