Comment on "chronic traumatic encephalopathy in blast-exposed military veterans and a blast neurotrauma mouse model"

Martin Tisdall et al. Sci Transl Med. .

Abstract

In a case study, the authors report an increase in phosphorylated neurofilament heavy chain, a marker of neuroaxonal damage, in the plasma of a blast-exposed patient immediately after injury. They suggest that this phosphoprotein may be a useful body fluid indicator of acute blast traumatic brain injury.
