Additional information
During the course of this special issue being produced, sadly Dr. Judah Folkman, the pioneer and father of modern angiogenesis research and its connections with cancer growth, died (February 24, 1933–January 14, 2008). As a Ph.D. student, I was inspired, upon reading his original papers on tumour-induced angiogenesis from the early 1970s, to focus some of my modelling efforts in this direction. This special edition is dedicated to his memory.
