Advances concerning angiogens and angiogenesis therapy applied in reconstructive surgery / 中华创伤骨科杂志

ABSTRACT

Angiogenesis plays an important role in the process of the repair and regrowth of tissues. So far, many growth factors have been shown to have the angiogenic properties. Angiogenesis therapy using exogenous angiogens or the DNA coding for these growth factors has aroused extensive interest. The advances concerning angiogens and angiogenesis therapy applied in reconstructive surgery are reviewed in this paper.
