Molecular basis of vascular anomalies.
Vascular anomalies comprise a heterogeneous group of disorders that are divided into tumors (hemangiomas) and malformations. Recent advances in biomedical research provide insights into the molecular basis of these disorders and a deeper understanding of vascular morphogenesis. In the future, this emerging knowledge will contribute to novel ways to treat vascular anomalies and to regulate pathologic angiogenesis.
