Main description:

This new edition is broader in scope expanding on the number of diseases and conditions it describes while focusing on the phenomenon of angiogenesis as one of the body's natural defense mechanisms. It is an important natural process for healing and reproduction, especially in wound healing and in the formation of granulation tissue. Angiogenesis-based functional and medicinal foods restore and activate the body's natural control of angiogenesis. The book also covers the development and delivery of antiangiogenic functional food products.
