Molecular and cellular mechanisms of brain injury after exposure to blast overpressure (BOP)
are not clearly known. The present study hypothesizes that pro-oxidative and pro-…

Chitosan scaffolds appear to be suitable for a variety of tissue engineering applications. This
study addressed the biocompatibility of chitosan in a mouse implantation model. Porous …

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) caused by improvised explosive devices (IEDs) affect a significant
percentage of surviving soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. The extent of a blast …

The manner in which energy from an explosion is transmitted into the brain is currently a
highly debated topic within the blast injury community. This study was conducted to investigate …

An improved understanding and characterization of glial activation and its relationship with
white matter injury will likely serve as a novel treatment target to curb post injury inflammation …

The current study used a rat model to investigate the underlying mechanisms of blast-induced
tinnitus, hearing loss, and associated traumatic brain injury (TBI). Seven rats were used to …

In addition to a biocompatible scaffold and an osteogenic cell population, tissue‐engineered
bone requires an appropriate vascular bed to overcome the obstacle of nutrient and oxygen …

Few preclinical studies have assessed the long-term neuropathology and behavioral deficits
after sustaining blast-induced neurotrauma (BINT). Previous studies have shown extensive …

Natural bone growth greatly depends on the precedent vascular network that supplies
oxygen and essential nutrients and removes metabolites. Likewise, it is crucial for tissue-…

Historically, glial cells have been recognized as a structural component of the brain. However,
it has become clear that glial cells are intimately involved in the complexities of neural …
