Explore a comprehensive graduate-level lecture on angiogenesis delivered by Dr. Mark Chaplain from the University of St Andrews as part of the Mathematical Oncology Graduate Course. Delve into the mathematical modeling and analysis of blood vessel formation in cancer development, examining the complex biological processes that enable tumors to develop their own blood supply. Learn about the key mechanisms driving angiogenesis, including growth factor signaling, endothelial cell migration, and vessel sprouting, all presented through a mathematical lens. Gain valuable insights into how mathematical frameworks can help understand and potentially control tumor-induced angiogenesis, a critical aspect of cancer progression and treatment.
