Abstract:
Neurotrauma constitutes 50 of combat related casualties. Among survivors, secondary injury contributes more to functional compromise than the primary traumatic event. A leading component of secondary injury is inflammation. Anti inflammatory therapy has not been exploited for central nervous system CNS injury because neuroinflammation is poorly understood. In this work, we provide the first in vivo demonstration of neuroinflammatory control.
