Cover Story: Blasts can induce brain damage. Yet, the neuropathologic and neuromolecular consequences as due to primary blast waves vs. blunt-TBI are not completely known. An explosive-driven blast-generating system was used to examine the neuropathological and neuromolecular changes generated by primary blast waves. Altered levels of proteins such as AQP4, S100β, DNA-polymerase-β, PDGF, synaptophysin and PSD-95 in double-blasted vs. control animals were observed. These neurovascular, glymphatic, and DNA repair markers changes were more frequent in the brainstem (BS). These abnormalities were not accompanied by behavioral alterations and corroborated our hypothesis for which an asymptomatic blast-induced molecular-altered status (ABIMAS) is caused by repeated explosive-driven primary blast waves.
