We also detected, in the subacute post-injury period, some differences in the hippocampal expression of the pathogenic TDP-35 fragment, levels of phosphorylated full-length TDP-43 and its 35 kDa cleaved fragment, as well as in the microglial reactivity between the aforementioned model and a TBI model representative of the type of repetitive brain trauma, typical for contact sports or in the military personnel. The gene discussed is TARDBP; the disease is brain injury.
