Age-Dependent Lethality in Novel Transgenic Mouse Models of Central Nervous System Arteriovenous Malformations
11 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The lack of an appropriate animal model has been a limitation in studying hemorrhage from arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the central nervous system. METHODS: Novel mouse central nervous system AVM models were generated by conditionally deleting the activin receptor-like kinase (Alk1; Acvrl1) gene with the SM22-Cre transgene. All mice developed AVMs in their brain and/or spinal cord,...
