What are the Clinical Implications of Vascularization?
Understanding vascularization has significant clinical implications. Abnormal vascularization is associated with various diseases such as cancer, where excessive angiogenesis supports tumor growth, and ischemic conditions like heart disease, where insufficient blood supply leads to tissue damage. Therapeutic strategies often aim to modulate vascularization, either enhancing it in ischemic conditions or inhibiting it in cancers.
