Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), a disorder characterized by direct shunts between arteries and veins, are associated with genetic mutations. However, the mechanisms leading to AV shunt formation and how shunts can be reverted are poorly understood. METHODS AND RESULTS: Here, we report that oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) protocol leads to the consistent and stereotypical formation of AV shunts in...
