Abstract excerpt
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a vascular disorder in humans which has been mapped to two genes, endoglin and activin receptor-like kinase-1 (ALK-1) both of which mediate signaling by transforming growth factor beta ligands in vascular endothelial cells. Animal models have shown that these receptors are not only important for maintaining vascular integrity but also for angiogenesis both during...
