Abstract

Angiogenesis is an important biological process involved in development, growth, reproduction, and wound healing. Dysregulation of angiogenesis is linked to many diseases, including cancer, ocular diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. Angiogenesis is a highly regulated process that involves a plethora of cells and cellular signaling events, including their activation, downstream signaling, regulation, and cross-talk. Computational modeling provides a powerful means of investigating the complex reaction network formed by these molecular and cellular events at the systems level. Here, we describe how mechanistic systems biology modeling of some of the major cellular signaling pathways at the molecular and cellular levels informs and provides insights for the understanding of angiogenesis in physiology and disease.
