Independent Component 2:Update

Here are the notes for lecture 2 of Biology of Cancer class! in this lecture, angiogenesis was discussed. angiogenesis is the growth of blood vessels to the tumor, which causes the tumor to receive nutrients, oxygen,etc. and thus causes the tumor to grow/spread. I also learned about the vascular endothelail growth factor (VEGF), which is the most potent proangiogenic pathway to get nutrients and other materials to tumor cells.
