Mathematical simulation of tumour angiogenesis: angiopoietin balance is a key factor in vessel growth and regression
Abstract Excessive tumour growth results in a hypoxic environment around cancer cells, thus inducing tumour angiogenesis, which refers to the generation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels. This mechanism is biologically and physically complex, with various mathematical simulation models...
