Extract

The chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of chick eggs is a well-studied embryonic organ, where the growth of blood vessels can be easily inspected in the living state, and in a quasi-two-dimensional tissue sheet. Structural and physiological knowledge about this organ was combined to define a stochastic growth process (Sandau and Kurz 1994).
