Pathogenesis of Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major global health concern, as the most common cause of death for those less than 40 years of age in developed countries. The search for molecular mediators of post-TBI pathology has fostered a growing realization that inflammation plays a major role. Numerous examples of cytokine and growth factor production after TBI in rodent models have been documented by pre-clinical studies.

In this 6-page whitepaper you’ll find:
• Information on the role of cytokines as inflammatory mediators in TBI
• TBI Studies in animal models
• Human TBI research
• Potential therapeutic approaches
