Rapid angiogenesis is one of the major issues in the field of tissue engineering, and it is an urgent problem to be solved. The process and related mechanism of angiogenesis have been deeply researched. Meanwhile, various methods or strategies for promoting angiogenesis, involving the application of stem cells and growth factors, and construction and modification of biomaterial scaffolds, have also been reported. On one hand, many remarkable advances in the field of promoting angiogenesis have been achieved; on the other hand, the complexity of mechanism and regulation of angiogenesis have gradually been recognized and emphasized. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of advances in research of the strategies for promoting angiogenesis in the field of tissue engineering.
