Fig. 8: Graphical summary of findings.

Representative summary of the findings of this study. In CCM, neutrophils become activated, leading to the release of NETs (1). These NETs trigger or exacerbate processes dysregulated in CCM: endothelial activation and EndMT (2a), neuroinflammation (2b), coagulation and clot organization (2c), fibroblast activation (2d) and increased collagen deposition (2e). The graphical abstract was created with BioRender.
