Declining or Waning
- Traditional Angiogenesis Studies:
Research focused on classic angiogenesis mechanisms appears to be less prevalent, possibly due to the rise of more nuanced understandings of microvascular dynamics and the complexity of vascular biology. - Basic Histological Studies:
The emphasis on purely histological characterization of microvessels has diminished, likely replaced by more integrative approaches that combine histology with functional assessments. - Single-Condition Studies:
Research focusing on microcirculation in isolation, without considering systemic interactions or multi-organ perspectives, is becoming less common as integrative approaches gain traction.
