A team of biomedical engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas published in Nature’s Scientific Reports that have identified a cause of fluid swelling of the brain, or cellular edema, that occurs during a concussion. “Our study found that mild traumatic brain injury resulted in increased expression of a protein called aquaporin-4, which caused a massive
