The Expression And Cellular Localization Of Cc-Chemokine Receptor 5 (Ccr5) After Traumatic Brain Injury, Vuvi H. Nguyen
The Expression And Cellular Localization Of Cc-Chemokine Receptor 5 (Ccr5) After Traumatic Brain Injury, Vuvi H. Nguyen
Dissertations & Theses (Open Access)
Traumatic brain injury results from a primary insult and secondary events that together result in tissue injury. This primary injury occurs at the moment of impact and damage can include scalp laceration, skull fraction, cerebral contusions and lacerations as well as intracranial hemorrhage. Following the initial insult, a delayed response occurs and is characterized by hypoxia, ischemia, cerebral edema, and infection. During secondary brain injury, a series of neuroinflammatory events are triggered that can produce additional damage but may also help to protect nervous tissue from invading pathogens and help to repair the damaged tissue. Brain microglia and astrocytes become …
