Cerebral Cavernous Malformation Pathogenesis: Investigating Lesion Formation and Progression with Animal Models.

Abstract excerpt

Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a cerebromicrovascular disease that affects up to 0.5% of the population. Vessel dilation, decreased endothelial cell-cell contact, and loss of junctional complexes lead to loss of brain endothelial barrier integrity and hemorrhagic lesion formation.
