LAKE NONA, Fla.—To date, the primary therapeutic focus when it comes to encouraging angiogenesis, or the development of new blood vessels, is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). But a signaling pathway discovered by researchers at the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute (SBP) as being pivotal for angiogenesis could offer a better option. This work was detailed...

Neurons modulate the growth of blood vessels
Severely hyperbranched vascular network surrounding the spinal cord (red dotted box) of zebrafish embryo – blood vessels in white. A team of researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) shake at the foundations of a dogma of cell biology. By detailed series of experiments, they proved that blood vessel growth is modulated by neurons and...
