  "term": "Angiogenesis",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The physiological process involving the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature. This process is distinct from vasculogenesis, which is the formation of new blood vessels when there are no pre-existing ones. Angiogenesis is a normal process in growth and healing, but it also occurs in tumor development.",
