HMGB1 was increased in the CSF of SAH patients with an unfavorable outcome, as were the other cytokines. These results suggest that HMGB1 and cytokines are related to the brain damage observed after SAH. HMGB1 might play a key role in the inflammatory response in the CNS of SAH patients.
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.
