In the current thesis, spatio-temporal evaluation of the endogenous angiogenic response to ischemia was perfomed. After vascular occlusion, ischemic angiogenesis is an important reparative mechanism and can ameliorate the outcome of ischemic disease. Diabetic foot ulcers affect almost 15% of diabeti...
