Blood vessel regeneration
Blood vessel regeneration is the process by which the body repairs or forms new blood vessels after injury or in response to increased needs, such as tissue growth. This involves specialized cells called endothelial cells that line vessels, which proliferate and migrate to create new channels. Growth factors like VEGF signal these cells to grow and form networks, restoring blood flow. This process is essential for healing wounds, maintaining tissue health, and supporting organ function. Proper regulation ensures efficient regeneration without abnormal growth, preventing issues like excessive scarring or blood vessel diseases.
