Study Overview
Angiogenesis is an important physiological process for supplying nutrients to cells and tissues. This is generally mediated by angiogenesis-promoting factors (such as VEGF and FGF) secreted by cells surrounding blood vessels.
During the wound healing process, angiogenesis is necessary to supply nutrients to damaged tissue. Promoting angiogenesis serves to accelerate natural wound healing.
Additionally, angiogenesis has been implicated in the proliferation and progression of cancer cells. In the field of oncology, anti-angiogenic drugs are gaining attention and are actively being developed.
Our validated angiogenesis evaluation approach leverages high-content screening equipment, allowing us to rapidly screen and test for anti- or pro-angiogenic substances.
Our expertise in co-culture assays using multiple cell types allows us to recommend the most suitable co-culture system to address your research needs.
