Medical research focuses on flipping the angiogenic "switch" depending on the condition: angiogenesis

: Pericytes and mural cells wrap around the new vessels to stabilize them and prevent leakage. The Therapeutic "Switch"

: Stimuli like hypoxia (low oxygen) trigger endothelial cells to break through the vessel wall.

The process typically follows four major steps to remodel the vasculature:
