What molecular mechanisms drive the transition from acute to persistent neuroinflammation in pediatric TBI?

PARTIALLY ADDRESSED

The abstract shows that acute neuroinflammation becomes persistent with a specific transcriptomic signature, but the mechanistic drivers of this transition are not explained. Understanding this switch is critical for developing interventions to prevent chronic sequelae.
