Resetting immune cells improves traumatic brain injury recovery in mice
Prolonged inflammation damages brain after injury, quelling it offers new treatment option for long-term recovery
SOCIETY FOR NEUROSCIENCE
Targeting overactive immune cells and dampening their effects may serve as a new treatment for treating a traumatic brain injury, according to new research in mice published in JNeurosci.
Time is of the essence when treating a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Triggered by trauma, microglia - the brain's immune cells - morph into an inflammatory state, which helps to protect the brain. However, long term inflammation may contribute to neurological degeneration after a TBI.
