Tau Isoform Expression Drives Disease Outcomes Following a Single Closed Head Injury

Rachel Furhang, Riley Morrone, Elena Nikulina, Mahdavi Jere, Ashmeet Kaur, Fizza Nayab, Takashi Saito, Takaomi C. Saido, Peter John Bergold

This study shows that expressing 3R tau isoforms in mice alters the disease course of traumatic brain injury, leading to different white matter damage and behavioral outcomes at subacute and chronic stages.

A single closed head injury in mice induces chronic, progressive white matter atrophy and increased phospho-tau expressing oligodendrocytes

David F. Havlicek, Rachel Furhang, Elena Nikulina, Bayle Smith-Salzberg, Siobhán Lawless, Sasha A. Sevarin, Sevara Mallaboeva, Fizza Nayab, Alan C. Seifert, John F. Crary, Peter John Bergold

This study shows that a single closed head injury in mice causes chronic white matter atrophy and increased phospho-tau in oligodendrocytes, differing from chronic traumatic encephalopathy from repeated injuries.
