Mild traumatic brain injury/ concussion initiates an atypical astrocyte response caused by blood-brain barrier dysfunction

Kijana K. George, Benjamin P. Heithoff, Oleksii O. Shandra, Stefanie Robel

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.
