Angiogenesis
Also known as: new blood vessel formation · vascularisation
The formation of new blood vessels from existing ones — central to how tissue-repair peptides are studied.
Angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature. It is essential to wound healing and tissue repair, because new tissue needs a fresh blood supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients and to clear waste.
It is one of the most-cited proposed mechanisms behind repair-focused research peptides such as BPC-157, which is studied for promoting the vascular support that healing tissue requires.
Angiogenesis is closely tied to cytoprotection and cell migration in the tissue-repair literature.
