Angiogenesis/vasculature - A to Z

Blood vessels in a tumour This page contains links to content about angiogenesis and the blood system (vasculature).

All cells need a blood supply, including cancer cells. Tumours grow a new blood supply through a process called angiogenesis - the development of new blood vessels.

Find out about our research on angiogenesis
