Summary:
A researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health has discovered a new part of the complicated mechanism that governs the formation of blood vessels, or angiogenesis. The senior author on the study believes the finding may help halt tumor growth in cancer patients.
Commentary: If this finding can be translated in an effective method of halting tumore growth, maybe stem cell treatments can be administered to regenerate any healthy tissue that was damaged or destroyed by the tumor.
