The identified endothelial signalling pathway of CCM3‐DLL4/Notch‐EphB4‐Erk1/2 may provide an insight into mechanism of CCM3‐ablation‐mediated angiogenesis and could potentially contribute to novel therapeutic concepts for disrupting aberrant angiogenesis in CCM and in hyper‐vascularized tumours. Here, EPHB4 is linked to cerebral cavernous malformation.
