Microphysiological vascular malformation model reveals a role of dysregulated Rac1 and mTORC1/2 in lesion formation
2022-09-04
Abstract excerpt
Somatic activating mutations of PIK3CA are associated with the development of vascular malformations (VMs). Here, we describe a microfluidic model of PIK3CA -driven VMs consisting of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) expressing PIK3CA activating mutations embedded in 3D hydrogels. We observed enlarged and irregular vessel phenotypes, consistent with clinical signatures and concomitant with PI3K-dr...
