Abstract
BACKGROUND: Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are characteristic of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. Loss-of-function mutations in the activin receptor-like kinase 1 ( METHODS: Endothelial-specific deletion of RESULTS: We performed endothelial-specific deletion of CONCLUSIONS: Together, our studies revealed the mechanistic underpinnings of ALK1 signaling in regulating the endothelial phenotype and provided possibilities for new therapeutic strategies in hemorrhagic telangiectasia type 2.
