Abstract | Angiogenesis, the formation of a network of blood vessels, is a vital process in the growth of solid tumors as it delivers required nutrients and oxygen. Prior medical studies assert that angiogenesis is influenced by a number of parameters such as endothelial cell migration and proliferation, existence of tumor angiogenesis factors, oxygen, extracellular matrix components, etc. Along with the early developments and findings in the area of tumor angiogenesis, a field of research that has emerged uses mathematical models to interpret and predict the time-course of the crucial factors, as well as new capillary vessel formation, loop formation, and vessel branching. However, most of these early mathematical approaches rely on a small number of parameters; and the characteristics of blood flow, which are significant factors in tumor vessel formation, are neglected. Relatively new integrated models based on the impact of multiple crucial factors and blood flow have seen some success in elucidating the behavior of angiogenesis. Here we review the contributions, opportunities, progress, and challenges of mathematical and computational models for understanding of the tumor-induced angiogenesis, and also consider studies that apply mathematical models to represent blood flow and opportunities for the investigation of therapies and treatments. At the same time, we identify a need for the inclusion of endothelial cell shape and dynamics in models of tumor-induced angiogenesis. Particularly, cell-matrix, cell shape, and cell-cell interaction is necessary for the explanation of blood vessel formation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
