Angiogenesis
Formation of new blood vessels from existing vasculature.
What is Angiogenesis?
Angiogenesis is the growth of new capillaries from existing vessels. It is essential to wound healing and tissue repair. Several research peptides — BPC-157, TB-500 — are studied for pro-angiogenic effects on injured tendons, ligaments, and gut tissue.
