As in earlier studies in which it has been suggested that caspase-cleaved PARP translocates to the cytoplasm during apoptosis, the authors' results indicate that apoptosis may predominate in the initial time frame after head injury. This information may well influence the timing of administration of antiapoptotic neuronal salvage agents for adjunctive therapy of head injury in the future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
