The Causative Pathogen Determines the Inflammatory Profile in Cerebrospinal Fluid and Outcome in Patients with Bacterial Meningitis by Denis Grandgirard, Rahel Gäumann, Boubacar Coulibaly, Jean-Pierre Dangy, Ali Sie, Thomas Junghanss, Hans Schudel, Gerd Pluschke, Stephen L. Leib

“…The brain’s inflammatory response to the infecting pathogen determines the outcome of bacterial meningitis (BM), for example, the associated mortality and the extent of brain injury. The inflammatory cascade is initiated by the presence of bacteria in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) activating resident immune cells and leading to the influx of blood derived leukocytes. …”

Distinct expression profile reveals glia involvement in the trigeminal system attributing to post-traumatic headache by Gurueswar Nagarajan, Yumin Zhang

“…Abstract Background Post-traumatic headache (PTH) is a common comorbid symptom affecting at least one-third of patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). While neuroinflammation is known to contribute to the development of PTH, the cellular mechanisms in the trigeminal system crucial for understanding the pathogenesis of PTH remain unclear. …”
