Angiogenesis process leading to Cancer
The angiogenesis process helps to make the growth of cells. But every cell has some proper limit to growth. After having growth, they stop growing more. But the cancerous cells are not including that list. They will always make growth there. But for growing in an unstoppable manner, they should have a good oxygen supply. But, the angiogenesis process will not help in this case. As this only helps the cells, that have a proper manner of growth. In those cases, cancerous cells use a different approach. This approach fools the angiogenesis process.
The cells that are growing continuously don’t have a proper workflow. Most of the cell organelles are destroyed there. To grow more rapidly, they need to have a good supply of oxygen. So, they use a proxy of the angiogenesis process. These cells secrete a chemical that is known as the Pro-Angiogenesis Growth Factor. This chemical is mostly similar to the VEGF factor. This chemical binding to the VEGF receptors. And it is pressure to do angiogenesis for the cancerous cells. So, they get a good supply of oxygen.
As a result, the cancerous cells start growing more. Even in serious cases, cancerous cells use these capillaries to move around in the body. And whenever they will get a place they start growing in that area also. During Chemotherapy, doctors try to block the blood vessels that provide oxygen to the cancerous cells. As if the oxygen supply cuts down there, the cells will not able to grow more. Otherwise, these cells will start to grow continuously & the individual will be affected by cancer.
Angiogenesis
The human body is a complex structure. There are several organs are present in this body. There is a complex network of blood vessels that connects every organ in the body. The human body has a specific immune system that helps to affect the body from foreign elements or substances. Scientists often wonder by seeing the human body instruments. There is always a backup plan for the processes that are going on inside the body. Due to any reason, if one path gets blocked, then there is a way to resolve that situation. Also, the human body is well equipped with the prevention from outside damage. One of the processes that heal external damage is known as Angiogenesis.
