Our understanding of the initial steps in blood vessel formation has been advanced through studies employing transgenic and knock-out mouse models [1] as well as isolated cells cultivated under conditions of altered oxygen level and shear stress. From the standpoint of identifying basic biological controls, examination of the tumor vascularization process also has provided insight concerning the molecular pathways required to form and sustain the microvasculature. However, much remains to be discovered about the far slower, adaptive process of arteriogenesis whereby pre-existing arterioles adopt new structural features required for sustaining blood flow around vascular obstructions. Especially fascinating are
