High-throughput differentiation of human blood vessel organoids reveals overlapping and distinct functions of the cerebral cavernous malformation proteins

Abstract excerpt

Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are clusters of thin-walled enlarged blood vessels in the central nervous system that are prone to recurrent hemorrhage and can occur in both sporadic and familial forms. The familial form results from loss-of-function variants in the CCM1, CCM2, or CCM3 gene. Despite a better understanding of CCM pathogenesis in recent years, it is still unclear why CCM3 mutations often...
