Tissue Repair
Angiogenesis
Formation of new blood vessels from existing vasculature.
Biological pathway
Endothelial migration, proliferation and vessel formation are regulated by growth factors and tissue signals.
Evidence summary
GHK-Cu and Thymosin Beta-4 have preclinical evidence related to angiogenesis and wound repair.
Limitations
Excess or inappropriate angiogenesis may be undesirable; clinical relevance depends on indication.
