This required developing a bioassay that would enable us to observe the inhibition of blood vessel growth in the presence of tumors.

He suggested that tumors emit a substance called tumor angiogenesis factor, which causes surrounding blood vessels to grow toward it, supplying nutrition and removing waste.

I had a similar experience when I was working in his lab, trying to isolate the first inhibitors of blood vessel growth (which were large molecular weight substances).

There are three major types of blood vessels the arteries, which carry the blood away from the heart the capillaries, which enable the actual exchange of water and chemicals between the blood and the tissues and the veins, which carry blood from the capillaries back toward the heart.

While humans, as well as other vertebrates, have a closed cardiovascular system (meaning that the blood never leaves the network of arteries, veins and capillaries), some invertebrate groups have an open cardiovascular system.
