Angiogenesis, Angiogenin and Postoperative Wounds in Neurosurgery

Angiogenesis is one of the processes leading to the formation of new blood vessels, in which blood vessels are formed from existing blood vessels by branching and elongation. Angiogenesis is relevant to many physiological as well as pathological processes. One of the factors involved in the early stages of angiogenesis is angiogenin (ANG). Its concentration in tissues or blood changes in physiological and pathological processes. This paper presents issues related to the wound healing process in neurosurgery with a focus on angiogenesis and angiogenin. (JNNN 2024;13(4):168–172)
