First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study collects and stores brain tissue from adults who have had a traumatic brain injury and require surgery to remove a bruise on the brain. Researchers will analyze the tissue to understand the molecular and cellular processes involved in brain damage and repair. The goal is to build a resource for future studies that may lead to better treatments for traumatic brain injury.
