Cover: Besides satisfying the metabolic demand of tissues, the blood vessels deliver numerous hormones able to regulate blood vessel growth and coordinate angiogenesis with other functions throughout the body. Notably, peptide hormones can acquire angiogenic or antiangiogenic properties after undergoing proteolytic cleavage within the tissue microenvironment. The illustration is showing the presence of hormones (green dots) helping to maintain the vascularization of a tissue in an active state. See Clapp, Carmen, Stéphanie Thebault, Michael C. Jeziorski, and Gonzalo Martínez de la Escalera. Physiol Rev 89: 1177–1215, 2009.
