Inflammation and Angiogenesis

More about the book

Focusing on the interplay between immune cells and angiogenesis, this book analyzes how both innate and adaptive immune components contribute to endothelial cell behavior, influencing inflammation and tumor growth. It explores the historical context linking chronic inflammation to cancer, highlighting the role of leukocytes in tumors. The text also discusses the balance of pro- and anti-angiogenic factors, suggesting potential pharmacological applications of immune cells as anti-angiogenic agents. It serves as a resource for researchers and graduate students in the field.
