Practical Applications of Pro- and Anti-angiogenesis Targets
Redaktion: Mousa, Shaker A.; Davis, Paul J.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is a major update of novel targets in angiogenesis modulation, including pro- and anti-angiogenesis. There is in-depth coverage of preclinical and clinical methods and models, investigational status, and clinical applications. The impact of nanotechnology in advancing the applications of pro-and anti-angiogenesis strategies is also highlighted, along with stem cell and biotechnologies in research and development of angiogenesis modulating targets.
