Delayed protective effect of chronic variable stress on optic tract axonal degeneration after experimental TBI

This study shows that chronic variable stress after TBI initially worsens axonal degeneration but later provides a delayed protective effect, possibly through changes in microglial and astrocytic phagocytic activity.

Targeting eIF2α in TBI-induced traumatic optic neuropathy: Effects of Salubrinal and the Integrated Stress Response Inhibitor.

This study investigates the effects of Salubrinal and ISRIB on eIF2 phosphorylation in TBI-induced traumatic optic neuropathy, finding that both drugs impair visual function in control animals and show limited benefit in injured mice.

Brief oxygen exposure after traumatic brain injury speeds recovery and promotes adaptive chronic endoplasmic reticulum stress responses.

This study shows that brief oxygen exposure after traumatic brain injury in adolescents reduces mortality, improves visual function, and alters endoplasmic reticulum stress responses.
