Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroimmunology of Traumatic Brain Injury: Time for a Paradigm Shift.

TL;DR: A new paradigm to study innate immune cells following TBI is proposed that moves away from the existing M1/M2 classification of activation states toward a stimulus- and disease-specific understanding of polarization state based on transcriptomic and proteomic profiling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Necrostatin-1 reduces histopathology and improves functional outcome after controlled cortical impact in mice

TL;DR: The data suggest that necroptosis plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of cell death and functional outcome after TBI and that ne crostatin-1 may have therapeutic potential for patients with TBI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell-cell signaling in the neurovascular unit.

TL;DR: Four examples of neurovascular coupling linking blood flow to brain activity; cellular communications that evoke the blood–brain barrier phenotype; parallel systems that underlie both neurogenesis and angiogenesis in the CNS; and the potential exchange of trophic factors that may link neuronal, glial and vascular homeostasis are surveyed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 in cerebrospinal fluid after severe traumatic brain injury in children.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that IL-6 is increased after TBI in children to levels similar to those reported in adults and is the first to show thatIL-10 is increased in CSF of humans afterTBI.
