  • Angiogenesis — How does angiogenesis work?
    Angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels from vessels that already exist, driven mainly by VEGF signalling in oxygen-starved tissue.
  • Inflammation — How does inflammation work?
    Inflammation is the body's first response to injury or infection: vessels widen, immune cells arrive, and cytokines coordinate clean-up and repair.
  • Tissue repair — How does tissue repair work?
    Tissue repair works in four overlapping stages — clotting, inflammation, rebuilding, and remodelling — and usually ends in scar rather than perfect regeneration.
  • Wound healing — How does wound healing work?
    Wound healing closes a break in the skin by clotting, clearing debris, resurfacing the gap with new epithelium, and remodelling the collagen underneath.
