Blood vessels play a dual role in healing as well as spreading diseases in the body. While vascular systems carry vital nutrients, they are also a pathway for malignancies to infiltrate other body systems. The challenge for researchers is encouraging blood vessel formation in one instance, while inhibiting formation in another. Such was the theme of the 11th annual Johns Hopkins Nano-Bio Symposium, Engineering Vascularization, on Friday, May 5, 2017 at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. The symposium was jointly organized by Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT) and Physical Sciences-Oncology Center (PS-OC). Read More
