vascularisation
Growing new vessels
Vascularisation is the development or formation of blood vessels in tissue.
The term appears in medical and biological contexts describing how tissues become supplied with vessels for blood flow: Vascularisation of the tumor made it more difficult to treat.
Also spelled vascularization.
The verb form is vascularise.
