Dissection of Microglial Heterogeneity and Identification of Pain‐Related Subpopulations After Traumatic Brain Injury

Background Pain following traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major challenge in clinical management. Neuroinflammatory responses, particularly those involving microglia, are increasingly implicated in the synaptic and circuit‐level remodeling associated with post‐TBI pain. However, the conventional M1/M2 framework does...

Single-cell reanalysis characterizes an Osmr+ astrocyte state and predicts midkine signaling to Cox6b1+ glutamatergic neurons at 24 h after traumatic brain injury.

BACKGROUND Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term neurological disability worldwide. The cellular heterogeneity and intercellular communication in the injured brain remain incompletely defined, particularly the astrocyte-neuron crosstalk that could drive potential interventions....

Electroacupuncture Prevents TBI-Induced Synaptic Loss by Inhibiting CaMKII/Drp1-Dependent Mitochondrial Fission

(1) Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) triggers synaptic loss, leading to long-term neurological deficits. Electroacupuncture (EA) benefits neurological conditions, but its mechanisms after TBI remain unclear. (2) Methods: We used a controlled cortical impact (CCI) mouse model. Behavioral outcomes were assessed u...
