Abstract

Most of angiogenesis assays were designed and developed during Folkman's era. But the growth of new blood vessels in several pathologic conditions as tumor development or inflammation were observed long time ago.The development of new blood vessels was early observed by ancient Egyptians who tried to destroy them by applying empirical methods. From the first observations regarding angiogenesis to a personalized therapy targeting newly formed blood vessels a lot of experimental in vitro and in vivo angiogenesis assays have been developed. The present work will overview the oldest and less known part of angiogenesis assays development, and in addition, it will present the newest data in the experimental field of angiogenesis which is rapidly improved by the needs of new antiangiogenic and antivascular therapy development.
