Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Somatic KRAS mutations have been identified in the majority of brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs), and subsequent in vivo experiments have confirmed that KRAS mutation in endothelial cells (ECs) causes AVMs in mouse and zebrafish models. Our previous study demonstrated that the KRASG12D mutant independently induced the endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), which was reversed by treatment...
