Genetic inhibition of RIPK3 ameliorates functional outcome in controlled cortical impact independent of necroptosis

Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability with no specific effective therapy, in part because disease driving mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Receptor interacting protein kinases (RIPKs) are serine/threonine kinases that assemble multi-molecular complexes t...
