Angiostatin

Angiostatin is a naturally occurring protein that helps regulate blood vessel growth by inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels. It plays a role in controlling tumor growth, as tumors need new blood vessels to supply nutrients and expand. By blocking this process, angiostatin can slow or stop the development of cancers. It is part of the body’s complex system for maintaining balance in blood vessel development and may have potential therapeutic uses in cancer treatment by limiting tumor blood supply.
