Researchers at Phoenix's Barrow Neurological Institute and the University of Pittsburgh have created a vast interactive atlas that may eventually help doctors use precision medicine to target treatments for traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients – and could replace the existing uniform treatment model.
Dignity Health ArizonaJul 16 2024 Research ers at Phoenix's Barrow Neurological Institute and the University of Pittsburgh have created a vast interactive atlas that may eventually help doctors use precision medicine to target treatments for traumatic brain injury patients – and could replace the existing uniform treatment model. The study was published this week by Cell Press.
All of the clinical trials over the past several decades testing different therapies have failed to show benefit. In large part this might be because of a 'one size fits all' approach to management – when really each patient, indeed each cell, is different." A TBI happens externally, but within the brain a cascade of internal responses occurs at the molecular level. These responses are important for repair and regeneration of the brain, but they also trigger secondary responses such as seizures, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. The atlas will help physicians target TBIs at the molecular level, potentially improving treatment outcomes.
