Protein elevated in blood predicts post-concussion symptom severity in professional athletes
New Penn Medicine research has found that elevated levels in the blood of the brain-enriched protein calpain-cleaved αII-spectrin N-terminal fragment, known as SNTF, shortly after sports-related concussion can predict the severity of post-concussion symptoms in professional athletes. This new study builds on previous research from this group showing that elevated blood levels of SNTF on […]
