Abstract
A variety of different factors has been implicated in inducing angiogenesis. Their identity and precise mechanisms of action remain elusive. The present treatise summarises the state of our knowledge not only in relation to tumour-induced capillary growth but also for non-neoplastic situations and mechanisms.
