Neurovascular disease: Cerebral cavernous malformation and inflammatory mechanisms
Author(s): Liu Chang*
Neurovascular diseases represent a complex interplay between the
nervous system and the vascular system, often presenting intricate
challenges in diagnosis, treatment, and management. Among these
conditions, Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (CCM) stands out as
a particularly intriguing entity characterized by abnormal clusters of
dilated blood vessels in the brain. While the genetic underpinnings
of CCM have been extensively studied, emerging evidence suggests
a significant role of inflammatory mechanisms in its pathogenesis.
This essay aims to delve into the intricate relationship between CCM
and inflammation, shedding light on the underlying mechanisms and
potential therapeutic implications... View More»
