Abstract Inhaling xenobiotics, such as tobacco smoke is a major risk factor for pulmonary diseases, e.g., COPD/emphysema, interstitial lung disease, and pre‐invasive diseases. Shelterin complex or telosome provides telomeric end protection during replication.

Structural basis of the junctional anchorage of the cerebral cavernous malformations complex [PDF]
The products of genes that cause cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM1/KRIT1, CCM2, and CCM3) physically interact. CCM1/KRIT1 links this complex to endothelial cell (EC) junctions and maintains junctional integrity in part by inhibiting RhoA.

A mechanism of Rap1-induced stabilization of endothelial cell–cell junctions [PDF]
Activation of Rap1 small GTPases stabilizes cell–cell junctions, and this activity requires Krev Interaction Trapped gene 1 (KRIT1). Loss of KRIT1 disrupts cardiovascular development and causes autosomal dominant familial cerebral cavernous ...

Circulating biomarkers in familial cerebral cavernous malformationResearch in context
Summary: Background: Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (CCM) is a rare cerebrovascular disease, characterized by the presence of multiple vascular malformations that may result in intracerebral hemorrhages (ICHs), seizure(s), or focal neurological ...

Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a vascular malformation of the central nervous system which may occur sporadically or segregate within families due to heterozygous variants in KRIT1/CCM1, MGC4607/CCM2 or PDCD10/CCM3.

Endothelial cells (EC) line the entire circulatory system and control the passage of materials into and out of the bloodstream. EC dysfunction is damage to EC that impairs the function of the endothelium, and plays a central role in the development of ...

Cerebral cavernous malformations proteins inhibit Rho kinase to stabilize vascular integrity [PDF]
Endothelial cell-cell junctions regulate vascular permeability, vasculogenesis, and angiogenesis. Familial cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) in humans result from mutations of CCM2 (malcavernin, OSM, MGC4607), PDCD10 (CCM3), or KRIT1 (CCM1), a Rap1

Background Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) are angiographically occult vascular anomalies of the brain, characterized by dilated capillaries, increased vascular permeability, and loss of endothelial junctional protein complexes.
