Towards a Point-of-Care (POC) Diagnostic Platform for the Multiplex Electrochemiluminescent (ECL) Sensing of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) Biomarkers

Milica Jovi et al.

Summary: Globally, 70 million people are affected by traumatic brain injury (TBI) annually. Diagnosis of mild TBI (mTBI) is challenging due to the absence of apparent symptoms. Current diagnostic methods rely on patient history, clinical aspects, and neuroimaging observations, which are costly and time-consuming. As an alternative, mTBI diagnostics can be done by detecting biomarkers in patients' blood. This study proposed two strategies for detecting mTBI biomarkers using electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunoassay. Multiplex assays on a single disposable screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) were also developed. The methodology presented demonstrates the feasibility of a rapid point-of-care (POC) multiplex diagnostic system for mTBI biomarkers.

Understanding Primary Blast Injury: High Frequency Pressure Acutely Disrupts Neuronal Network Dynamics in Cerebral Organoids

Marc Joshua Silvosa et al.

Summary: Blast exposure can cause traumatic brain injuries (TBI) of varying severity. In this study, cerebral organoids derived from human stem cells were exposed to different frequencies of pressure waves to characterize the neurophysiological response. The findings suggest that pressure waves during blast TBI have varying effects on neurophysiological activity, even without causing cellular damage.

Mice in translational neuroscience: What R we doing?

Garikoitz Azkona et al.

Summary: Animal models are crucial in neuroscience research, but there are recurring issues in data collection and interpretation, a lack of biomarkers, and an over-reliance on mice, leading to low translation efficiency. Non-human primates, with their higher brain complexity and similarity to humans, can provide more relevant translational information. Therefore, resources for training, education, husbandry, and data sharing should be prioritized to improve translational efficiency.

Biomarkers for traumatic brain injury: a short review

Marcela Usberti Gutierre et al.

Summary: Cellular response to TBI involves excitotoxicity, neuroinflammation, and cell death. Biomarkers tracking these processes could improve diagnostic accuracy, guide management, and prevent long-term disability in TBI patients. Despite significant knowledge gaps, some promising markers could potentially benefit patients in the near future.

Mass Generation, Neuron Labeling, and 3D Imaging of Minibrains

Subashika Govindan et al.

Summary: This study introduces a methodology to generate human minibrain nurseries and novel strategies for labeling projection neurons, performing immunohistochemistry, and 3D imaging. Viral transduction is used to visualize projection neurons, while immunohistochemistry is implemented to visualize the organization of cell types. Pipelines and accessories for one step mounting and clearing suitable for confocal microscopy have been presented, allowing for ease of multiplexing assays for large-scale screenings.

Modeling Traumatic Brain Injury in Human Cerebral Organoids

Santiago Ramirez et al.

Summary: The study successfully adapted the controlled cortical impact (CCI) model for inducing traumatic brain injury (TBI) in human cerebral organoids (COs) derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), showing that COs recapitulate primary pathological changes of TBI. This novel approach using human COs in vitro holds great potential for understanding and treating TBI.

High resolution optical projection tomography platform for multispectral imaging of the mouse gut

Cedric Schmidt et al.

Summary: Optical projection tomography (OPT) is a powerful tool for three-dimensional imaging of mesoscopic biological samples, with a fluorescent OPT platform enabling direct visualization of specimens at a centimeter scale with high spatial resolution. The optimized setup allows for imaging the mouse gut in multiple wavelengths, providing insights into the spatial arrangement of intestinal villi and vasculature network. The combination of rapid acquisition and high spatial resolution in 3D imaging holds great potential for gastrointestinal pathology research.
