MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

This collection of current and future concepts of neovascularization offers fascinating insights into refining a powerful therapeutic tool which has not yet had the chance to live up to the expectations and needs of the medical community. It examines current refinements in the fundamental concept of neovascularization and describes the most recent developments, which in the future might pave the way towards a new era of therapeutic applications.
