angiogenesis
Let an agent explain angiogenesis, relay mechanisms, physiological and pathological roles and therapeutic targeting from cell biology and medicine sources, describe the named forms, and distinguish angiogenesis from vasculogenesis, arteriogenesis and lymphangiogenesis.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain angiogenesis, relay mechanisms, physiological and pathological roles and therapeutic targeting from cell biology and medicine sources, describe the named forms, and distinguish angiogenesis from vasculogenesis, arteriogenesis and lymphangiogenesis.
The formation of new blood vessels from existing ones, a process essential to growth, wound healing and the menstrual cycle, driven by signals such as vascular endothelial growth factor, with forms the registry aliases name such as sprouting and intussusceptive angiogenesis and angiogenesis in wound healing and coronary and glomerular development; tumour angiogenesis, also named, is the growth of vessels that supply tumours, a target of anti-angiogenic cancer drugs, while too little or abnormal angiogenesis features in poor healing and eye disease. Angiogenesis is distinct from vasculogenesis, the initial formation of vessels, and from arteriogenesis.
What it is for: Forming new blood vessels.
It can be explain mechanisms; relay physiological and pathological roles; describe named forms; distinguish related processes.
Distinguishing features
New vessels from existing ones
VEGF-driven
Healing and disease roles
Drug target
What it looks like
Not visible to the eye; new capillaries sprouting, seen in microscopy.
Physical character
key signal: vascular endothelial growth factor note - VEGF
types: sprouting and intussusceptive list
registry parent: microvasculature remodeling note
How it is recognised
Formation of new blood vessels from existing ones
Tumor angiogenesis, sprouting angiogenesis, intussusceptive angiogenesis, angiogenesis in wound healing, coronary and glomerular angiogenesis
Vasculogenesis forms the first vessels; arteriogenesis enlarges arteries; lymphangiogenesis forms lymph vessels
