Case Report: Innate Immune System Challenge Unleashes Paraneoplastic Neurological Autoimmunity.

abstract：:There is currently no therapeutic drug treatment for traumatic brain injury (TBI) despite decades of experimental clinical trials. This may be because the mechanistic pathways for improving TBI outcomes have yet to be identified and exploited. As such, there remains a need to seek out new molecular targets and their d...
