Abstract excerpt
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) represents a major cause of death and disability worldwide. Exacerbated neuroinflammation following TBI causes secondary injury. Podoplanin (PDPN) is a small transmembrane mucin-like glycoprotein that promotes the inflammatory response in different tissues and cells. However, the contribution of PDPN to neuroinflammation and microglial activation is unknown. Here, we found that PDPN...
