Abstract
The papers presented at the International Workshop “Novel Angiogenic Mechanisms” strongly support a role in adult angiogenesis played by circulating cells of various types, in different settings and circumstances (ischemic limbs, retina, heart, bone marrow). The main themes that currently dominate this research field are, among others, the origin of these cells, their phenotypic modulation in vivo and in vitro, their transformation into endothelial cells (EC) and the mechanisms of their contribution to neovessels formation. The workshop illustrated the domain’s general lines of investigation and development, for short and medium term. While it is not our intention to summarize here the contributions of the participants, their opinions are cited below, when considered appropriate.
