vasculogenesis

(noun)

The formation and development of the vascular system, including the formation of blood vessels from endothelial cells.

Examples of vasculogenesis in the following topics:

  • Development of the Heart

    • The development of the circulatory system occurs by the process of vasculogenesis followed by angiogenesis, the sprouting of new vessels from pre-existing ones.
    • Vasculogenesis is the process of blood vessel formation by new production of endothelial cells, in contrast with angiogenesis in which new blood vessels are formed from pre-existing vessels.
    • Vasculogenesis occurs when endothelial precursor cells (angioblasts) migrate and differentiate in response to local cues (such as growth factors and extracellular matrix) to form new blood vessels.
  • Development of the Cardiovascular System

    • The circulatory system develops initially via vasculogenesis, with the arterial and venous systems developing from distinct embryonic areas.
    • The development of the circulatory system initially occurs by the process of vasculogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels when there are no preexisting ones.
    • Vasculogenesis is when endothelial precursor cells (angioblasts) migrate and differentiate in response to local cues (such as growth factors and extracellular matrix) to form new blood vessels.
  • Development of Blood

    • The development of the circulatory system initially occurs by the process of vasculogenesis.
    • Vasculogenesis is the formation of early vasculature, laid down by genetic factors.
    • Angiogenesis is generally responsible for colonizing individual organ systems with blood vessels, whereas vasculogenesis lays down the initial pipelines of the network.
  • Capillaries

    • During embryological development, new capillaries are formed by vasculogenesis, the process of blood vessel formation occurring by de novo production of endothelial cells and their formation into vascular tubes.
  • Development of Blood and Blood Vessels

    • Formation of new blood vessels occurs by two different processes: vasculogenesis and angiogenesis.
  • Angiogenesis and Disease

    • Diverse chemoattractant factors promote the recruitment and infiltration of bone marrow cells to the tumor microenvironment where they suppress the antitumor immunity or promote tumor angiogenesis and vasculogenesis
