Bone marrow-derived cells (BMDCs) home to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced brain angiogenic foci, and VEGF induces cerebrovascular dysplasia in adult endoglin heterozygous (Eng(+/-)) mice. We hypothesized that Eng(+/-) BMDCs cause cerebrovascular dysplasia in the adult mouse after VEGF stimulation.
