Angiogenesis News and Research

RSS

Angiogenesis is blood vessel formation. Tumor angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. This is caused by the release of chemicals by the tumor.

Study reveals distinct roles of oxygen-sensing proteins in skeletal muscles

Skeletal muscles-responsible for movement, joint stabilization, and postural support-are highly metabolically active and heavily reliant on oxygen during physical activity.

Innovative polysaccharide hydrogels offer new hope for healing wounds

Announcing a new article publication in BIO Integration. Skin wound healing, especially in chronic non-healing conditions, such as diabetic foot ulcers and infected wounds, remains a formidable clinical challenge due to the complex pathophysiologic mechanisms and prolonged repair processes.

Modulating pathogenic scar cells promotes spinal cord regeneration

SCI often causes long-term motor and sensory deficits because the damaged tissue does not simply heal like many peripheral tissues.

Melatonin improves skin flap survival by reducing ferroptosis

Random-pattern skin flaps are widely used to repair defects caused by trauma, burns, tumor removal, and other injuries because they can be designed without depending on a single named blood vessel.

Bionic cooling skin accelerates healing and combats wound infections

As the global burden of infected wounds continues to rise-with over 300 million surgeries performed annually and postoperative infections affecting 5–20% of patients-conventional wound dressings face a critical limitation: no single product has successfully integrated protective function, wearing comfort, and efficient antibacterial activity.

Tumor microenvironment drives drug resistance in lung cancer subtypes

A study by the University of Barcelona has discovered why the two main types of lung cancer — adenocarcinoma of the lung and squamous cell carcinoma — respond differently to anti-angiogenic therapy, that is, drugs that block the formation of new blood vessels that tumors need in order to grow.

Review outlines virtual tumor concept and next-generation immunotherapy

A comprehensive review led by Associate Researcher Linnan Zhu and Academician Zemin Zhang at Biomedical Pioneering Innovation Center (BIOPIC), Peking University, China, and Chongqing Medical University, China, was published in Volume 2, article number 27 of the journal Immunity & Inflammation on June 05, 2026.

Review explores complex associations between sleep apnea and lung cancer

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder characterized by intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation, which may contribute to lung cancer development and progression.

Microbial "signatures" within the oral cavity and gut may aid in gastric cancer detection

A recent study published in Cell Reports Medicine has identified distinct microbial "signatures" within the oral cavity and gut that serve as robust biomarkers for the early detection of gastric cancer (GC).

SARS-CoV-2 rarely reaches first-trimester placentas but still disrupts early pregnancy immunity

Researchers analyzing 761 first-trimester pregnancies found that SARS-CoV-2 was rarely detected in placental tissues, suggesting in utero transmission early in pregnancy is uncommon. However, maternal infection was linked to immune dysregulation at the maternal-fetal interface, altered trophoblast signaling, and inflammatory changes that could affect placental development.
