Scientific collaborators from Yale School of Medicine and University College London (UCL) have uncovered the molecular pathway by which new arteries may form after heart attacks, strokes and other acute illnesses bypassing arteries that are blocked. Their study appears in the journal Developmental Cell. Arteries form in utero and during development, but can also form in adults when organs become deprived of oxygen - for example, after a heart attack. The organs release a molecular signal called VEGF...
