🧠 Insights into CTE: Repeated head trauma drives neuron loss and inflammation. In a study in Nature, individuals under 51 with RHT/early CTE showed SPP1+ microglia, vascular inflammation, astrocytosis, and synaptic changes. TGFB1 may mediate cell cross-t…
Repetitive head impacts sustained from contact sports are the largest risk factor for chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Currently, CTE can only be diagnosed after death and the events that trigger initial hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau) deposition remai…
New NIH funded work by @jon-cherry.bsky.social and team shows repeated head impacts can cause early neuron loss and inflammation in young athletes, years before classic CTE changes. This shifts the focus to cumulative exposure. www.nature.com/articles…
