Advances in the cellular and molecular biology of angiogenesis

27 - 29 June 2011, Birmingham, United Kingdom

Introduction

Understanding angiogesis (the growth of new blood vessels) is crucial to reduce morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease, alleviate developmental problems, and maximise reparative tissue remodelling. Of particular interest are those conditions where vascular growth is excessive (e.g. tumours) or insufficient (e.g. ischaemia). This meeting will emphasise an integrative approach to unravelling the molecular and cellular basis of angiogenesis.
