Post-injury treatment with 7,8-dihydroxyflavone attenuates white matter pathology in aged mice following focal traumatic brain injury by Georgios Michalettos, Fredrik Clausen, Elham Rostami, Niklas Marklund

“…Histological assessment with Luxol Fast Blue (LFB)/Cresyl Violet stain showed that administration of 7,8-DHF resulted in preserved white matter tissue at 2 and 7 dpi with no difference in cortical tissue loss at all investigated time points. Treatment with 7,8-DHF led to reduced axonal swellings at 2 and 7 dpi, as visualized by SMI-31 (Neurofilament Heavy Chain) immunofluorescence, and reduced number of TUNEL (Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labelling)/CC1-positive mature oligodendrocytes at 2 dpi in the perilesional white matter. …”
