angiogenesis
Term: angiogenesis
Literally meaning: ?production of new vessels?

Coined/History
The term angiogenesis was coined by Arthur T. Hertig in 1935 to describe the formation of new blood vessels in the placenta.

Definition
Angiogenesis is the process of new vessels formation from pro-existing vessels induced by angiogenic factors. Angiogenesis is opposite to angiostasis(normal regulation of blood vessels) and includes proliferation and migrationof endothelial cells. Vasculogenesis includes de-novo formation of new vessels.
