TY - JOUR T1 - Traumatic brain injury: Can the consequences be stopped? JF - Canadian Medical Association Journal JO - CMAJ SP - 1163 LP - 1170 DO - 10.1503/cmaj.080282 VL - 178 IS - 9 AU - Eugene Park, PhD AU - Joshua D. Bell, BSc AU - Andrew J.

To date, there is no targeted pharmacological treatment that effectively limits the progression of secondary injury. The delayed progression of deterioration of grey and white matter gives hope that a meaningful intervention can be applied in a realistic timeframe following initial trauma. In this review we discuss new insights into the subcellular mechanisms of secondary injury that have highlighted numerous potential targets for intervention. ER -
