In our latest featured article, it is established that the brains of contact-sports athletes are characterized by deficient DNA repair and DNA damage-induced cellular senescence, which may affect neurons and be the driver of brain dysfunction in mTBI.

Authors Lili-Naz Hazrati and Nicole Schwab also co-wrote a post for the BMC Blog Network, explaining how genetic variation could make different people more susceptible to neurodegenerative disease following concussion.

EUROTAU is an innovative, collaborative research initiative established to tackle unanswered research questions and the mounting challenges posed by Tauopathies. EUROTAU provides a forum for promoting ambitious, innovative, multi-national and multi-disciplinary collaborative research projects, that: i) combine experimental approaches from fundamental, pre-clinical and/or clinical with computational approaches; ii) perform network analyses in different Tauopathies to elucidate the underlying mechanisms that are common as well as those that are different between them, and iii) will add value to existing research by analyzing diseases across traditional clinical boundaries, thereby gaining deeper understanding of the patho-physiological mechanisms of these disorders.
