Learning how the body controls angiogenesis can help us treat heart disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>The Role of Blood Vessels<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The heart needs oxygen and nutrients from coronary blood vessels, and these vessels are most often blocked during a heart attack. Some people may experience less damage with the same blockage because they have alternate routes known as collateral vessels, that bypass the blockage to the muscle layers. These alternate vessels are likely formed via angiogenesis.<\/p>\n<p>Abnormal blood vessel growth is also believed to have a critical role in diseases like the spread of cancer, stimulating normal cells to produce angiogenic signaling molecules that feed growing tumors. This can allow cancer cells to invade nearby tissue, and to metastasize by moving throughout the body.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Potential for Therapeutic Value<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Outstanding Investigator Award will allow the <a class=\"external-link\" title=\"bautch_lab\" href=\"http:\/\/bautchlab.web.unc.edu\/current-lab-members\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Bautch Lab<\/a> to open new directions in understanding how blood vessels form during development and function in organ tissue such as the heart. Knowing how they are controlled will have vast implications for both preventing and managing disease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStimulation of angiogenesis has the potential to be therapeutic in heart disease because angiogenic signals are believed to form new coronary vessels, which can augment collateral vessels after a heart attack,\u201d said Bautch.<\/p>\n<p>Bautch is a member of the Integrative Program for Biological and Genome Sciences (iBGS) and the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
