The angiogenic process is central in the pathogenesis of various diseases. The in vitro and in vivo monitoring of the neovascular process is essential for the development and evaluation of angiogenesis inhibitors or stimulators. Since no single method exists that can assess angiogenesis in a robust, reliable, and reproducible fashion, researchers often use a combination of assays to circumvent this problem. The experimental details of the most commonly in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo assays are presented here.
