(這門課很適合沒有生物背景的學生, 也適合英語不強的學生)

Blood vessel establishments continue to be a dominant factor in tissue engineering and regeneration, as well as in diseases pathogenesis. Examples in cancer biology and heart development will be used to demonstrate the significance and underlying mechanism of angiogenesis. Additionally, the roles of extracellular matrix proteins in angiogenesis, and steps in developing anti- and pro-angiogenic biomaterials will also be discussed.
