Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, Zhou et al1 present experimental evidences that
pharmacological blockade of Ang2 (angiopoietin-2)—a key regulator of angiogenesis—
prevents and improves the vascular lesions in the brain of 3 different genetic mouse models
of HHT, suggesting that Ang2-targeted therapies could be used in patients with HHT. This
exciting discovery opens up a new research avenue for therapeutic prevention and
treatment of vascular malformations in HHT.
