Abstract. We investigate mathematically the system of equations proposed by Chaplain and Stuart [2], to describe the chemotactic response of endothelial cells under the angiogenesis stimulus. In particular, we characterize the steady state endothelial cell density function, and give conditions on the chemotactic parameter k and cell proliferation parameter b that ensure that migration/ proliferation either does or does not occur in steady state. The time dependent problem is also treated.
