intussusceptive angiogenesis
8. sprouting angiogenesis
tissues that have low nutrient and oxygen supply will produce signals (VEGF-A) that induces endothelial cells
secrete proteases that degrade their basement membranes and allow the endothelial cells to escape their
vessel walls. These cells continue to proliferate and form sprouts connecting neighboring vessels, guided by
