Special Issue Introduction

Dear Colleagues,
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) is a neurological disorder characterized by enlarged capillaries in the brain, which can lead to hemorrhagic strokes. Treatment options for CCMs are limited, and there is a need for prognostic biomarkers and innovative therapeutic approaches.

Blood biomarkers, especially prognostic biomarkers, have advantages for diagnostic and prognostic applications. Recent progress in understanding the genetic, molecular, and cellular mechanisms of CCMs has led to the development of prognostic biomarker projects and proposed therapeutic strategies targeting different aspects of the disease's etiopathogenesis.

Recent advancements in understanding the disease's mechanisms have led to successful clinical trials and innovative therapeutic approaches. Many innovative therapeutic approaches based on recent advancements in nanotechnologies and natural compounds. This special issue focuses on these innovative discoveries and approaches and is also soliciting contributions from clinical experts in CCMs, including new clinical diagnostic and therapeutic techniques and unique patient case observations.
