Neuronal Deletion of Caspase 8 Protects against Brain Injury in Mouse Models of Controlled Cortical Impact and Kainic Acid-Induced Excitotoxicity
BACKGROUND: Acute brain injury is an important health problem. Given the critical position of caspase 8 at the crossroads of cell death pathways, we generated a new viable mouse line (Ncasp8 (−/−)), in which the gene encoding caspase 8 was selectively deleted in neurons by cre-lox system. METHODOLOG...
