Description

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), even mild (m)TBI, in pediatric populations induced long-term functional deficits for 30% of the patients, yet to date there are no good tools to identify these patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop and validate new biomarkers for pediatric (p) mTBI. From the knowledge gathered in moderate/severe TBI, brain vasculature dysfunctions with, for example, bleeding and loss of cerebral blood flow (CBF) have been shown to be a negative prognostic factor for a good recovery. However, there is little known about cerebrovascular changes eliciting after pmTBI. The aim of the current project is therefore to validate the use of early CBF in patients to classify them. The project will also unravel the mechanisms resulting in these cerebrovascular changes in order to identify novel blood biomarkers such as miRNA aimed at prognosis of longterm functional deficits after pmTBI. This will be achieved by establishing a translational consortium (Neu-Vasc) of internationally recognized experts in the field of brain injury, the use of past data as well as generating new experimental data using state-of-the-art of clinical and preclinical techniques (from neuroimaging to the molecular level with the use of machine learning).
