Article Synopsis
  • Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are problems in blood vessels that can cause serious issues like epilepsy and stroke, especially when inherited from a specific genetic mutation.
  • Scientists studied different types of genes in two models of mice (acute and chronic) to see how CCMs affect them differently. They found many genes acting differently depending on whether the problem was new or old.
  • Their findings suggest that new problems are more about cell growth, while long-term issues are related to inflammation and how cells stick together, plus they think certain small pieces of RNA in the blood could help in understanding or diagnosing the disease better.

Endothelial cells respond to different levels of fluid shear stress through adaptations of their mechanosensitivity. Currently, we lack a good understanding of how this contributes to sculpting of the cardiovascular system. Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is an inherited vascular disease that occurs when a second somatic mutation causes a loss of CCM1/KRIT1, CCM2, or CCM3 proteins.

Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular lesions of the CNS characterized by abnormally enlarged capillary cavities. CCMs can occur as sporadic or familial autosomal dominant form. Familial cases are associated with mutations in CCM1[K-Rev interaction trapped 1 (KRIT1)], CCM2 (MGC4607) and CCM3 (PDCD10) genes.
