| Summary |
Presenting the latest advances in basic science, this book also reviews the status of the clinical applications of angiogenic growth factors and inhibitors. It explores current molecular and genetic findings on the regulation of angiogenesis, discusses the results of clinical trials and identifies the pathological conditions that are most likely to benefit from such treatments. Edited by the leading researchers in the field, the book includes contributions from experts in their respective disciplines, supplemented by illustrations and photographs |
