E-Mail Researchers have discovered an explanation for why cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) clusters of dilated blood vessels in the brain can suddenly grow to cause seizures or stroke. Specifically, they found that a specific, acquired mutation in a cancer-causing gene (PIK3CA) could exacerbate existing CCMs in the brain. Furthermore, repurposing an already existing anticancer drug showed promise in mouse models of CCMs in improving brain-vascular health and preventing bleeding into the brain tissue. Previous studies linked the initial formation of CCMs to various environmental factors, including differences in the gut microbiome, and inactivating mutations in three specific genes collectively known as the CCM complex. While these changes are enough to cause small malformations to form in the brain, they didn t explain why some suddenly expand in size, resulting in seizures or stroke. ....

E-Mail BOSTON - At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, very little was known about SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Yet questions still remain about how the virus impacts the health of pregnant women and newborns. In a new study published in JAMA Network Open, physician-researchers from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), Brigham and Women s Hospital, Boston Children s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital reveal that, while mother-to-newborn transmission of the virus is rare, newborns of expectant mothers with COVID-19 can suffer indirect adverse health risks as a result of worsening maternal COVID-19 illness. ....
