A review of molecular and genetic factors for determining mild traumatic brain injury severity and recovery

Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) affect millions of people globally every year. The clinical presentation of this injury is highly variable, and its progression from the acute to chronic stages of injury is driven by a dynamic pathophysiology. More specifically, biomechanical brain damage can trigger complex cellular, molecular, functional, genetic, and metabolomic changes. Recent research has taken aim at understanding the association …
