Data Helps Researchers Link Cavernous Angioma to Disordered Gut Microbiomes Dakota Campbell Thu, 06/11/2020 - 15:03

In patients with cavernous angioma (CA), lesions in the brain are caused by imbalances in the gut microbiome, according to a new study in the journal Nature Communications. Data from the Brain Vascular Malformation Consortium (BVMC) helped researchers make this connection, the first of its kind in any human neurovascular disease.
