Angiogenesis
Also known as: neovascularization · new blood vessel formation
The formation of new blood vessels from existing vasculature, critical for tissue repair, wound healing, and organ growth.
Angiogenesis is a primary mechanism by which repair-oriented peptides — particularly BPC-157 and TB-500 — produce their documented healing effects. Increased capillary density delivers more nutrients, oxygen, and immune cells to injured tissue and accelerates the resolution of inflammatory states. The same mechanism has dual-use concerns: tumor tissue also relies on angiogenesis, which is one reason aggressive healing protocols warrant oncology screening in older researchers.
Angiogenesis-targeting peptides are the mechanistic core of most 'healing stack' protocols and are the reason BPC-157 and TB-500 are so often combined.
