This study investigates how mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) alters connexin43 (Cx43) phosphorylation in astrocytes and how this contributes to seizure susceptibility in mice.

This paper identifies fast ripple-delta coupling as an early biomarker for post-traumatic epileptogenesis detectable 4 days after traumatic brain injury in mice.

This study shows that a single closed-head mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in mice temporarily increases atypical astrocytes (AtAs) but they do not persist long-term, unlike in repeated mTBI.

This paper optimizes a protocol for isolating murine BBB capillaries and evaluates its effectiveness in reducing non-vascular and non-capillary material.

This study shows that mild traumatic brain injury causes long-term astrocyte dysfunction due to sustained blood-brain barrier damage and exposure to blood-borne factors.

This study shows that mature astrocytes are necessary for maintaining blood-brain barrier integrity in adult mice, as their ablation leads to BBB damage and persistent leakage.
