AbstractThe basic mechanisms governing how endothelial cells, periendothelial cells, matrix molecules and blood constituents interact with each other are discussed. The many insights gained from this basic knowledge are being extended to further understand physiological and pathological features of vascular sprouting and maintenance. Understanding these basic principles that drive angiogenesis and vasculogenesis will lead to a more specific therapy of many disorders in ophthalmology and other fields, such as arteriosclerosis, tumor growth, myocardial ischemia and tissue repair.
