Abstract:There is growing evidence that a second mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) sustained prior to cellular and neurological recovery from the first increases risk of cumulative pathological and neurological deficits. Despite this, the pathophysiology of single and repeated mTBI (rmTBI) is not well understood, and as such, no therapeutic interventions are available to mitigate the cumulative deficits induced. The Nod-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is an intracellular protein complex th… Show more
