Sabrina Staples, BMSc’20 - Sabrina Staples, a PhD candidate in medical biophysics, is first author on a study published in PNAS that breaks new ground in our understanding of how blood vessels grow by splitting in two. The process, called intussusceptive angiogenesis (IA), is a lesser-known form of blood vessel growth – complementary to the classic “sprouting” angiogenesis many of us learn about in biology class. Instead of growing new vessels like branches from a tree, IA splits an existing vessel.
