Summary
Researchers at the University of Montana Brain Injury Center have identified blood-based biomarkers that indicate how the brain reacts following a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Research over the past year has demonstrated changes in specific plasma microRNAs (micro ribonucleic acids) in TBI patients over a period of several months. The identification and validation of these markers could help with diagnosis and assessing recovery after a head injury as well as testing the effectiveness of new treatments for TBI.
