Mechanisms of Angiogenesis and Vasculogenesis
Blood vessel endothelial cells in the mouse retina (red) were shown following the tracks set by astrocytes (green).
Scientists in the center are focused on the study of how stem cells differentiate into vascular endothelial cells (vasculogenesis) and how endothelial cells develop into capillaries by sprouting (angiogenesis). This research has important implication to regererative biology as well as cancer, heart disease and diabetes.
