Angiogenesis starts with the activation of tip endothelial cells by tumour angiogenic factors, which are released in hypoxic regions and transported to nearby capillaries. Tumour angiogenic factor transport is usually assumed to be purely diffusive, but convective transport by interstitial flow may significantly influence tumour angiogenesis.
