Furthermore, the permissible maximum ship dimensions in some of the world's main waterways could present an upper limit in terms of vessel growth.

Since even very large container ships are vessels with relatively low draft compared to large tankers and bulk carriers, there is still considerable room for vessel growth.

In the present market situation, main engines will not be as much of a limiting factor for vessel growth either.

As well, vessel growth and flow dynamics in tumours are thought to recapitulate the vessel growth in developing embryos.

Furthermore, it has been discovered that these same molecules are involved in guiding vessel growth.

We watch scientists tossing mice tumors into a blender, hoping to find in this bloody smoothie the molecule that stimulates vessel growth.

This is due to irregular and insufficient tumor vessel growth and heavy metabolic demands of the surrounding tumor cells.

The abnormal vessel growth may affect the skin on the face; the brain; or one or both eyes.

External events stimulate these two types of vessel growth through a combination of mechanical and chemical pathways (Prior et al., 2004).

Angiogenesis is controlled by a local balance between stimulators and inhibitors of new vessel growth and is suppressed under normal physiologic conditions.
