Abstract excerpt
Brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) are a major cause of hemorrhagic stroke in children and young adults. These lesions are thought to result from somatic KRAS/BRAF mutations in brain endothelial cells (bECs). In this study, we introduce a new bAVM model by inducing a brain endothelial-specific BrafV600E mutation using the Slc1o1c1(BAC)-CreER driver line. The pathological characteristics of this model...
