N2 - The formation of a blood supply is critical for tumor growth and metastasis; however, understanding the relationship of cellular transformation to tumor angiogenesis has been limited by the multifactorial nature of both processes. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Watnick and colleagues use a genetically defined tumor model system to determine the link between ras, myc, and angiogenesis and identify Thrombospondin-1 as being the critical regulator of angiogenesis in this system (Watnick et al., 2003).
