Limin Wu, MD, PhD, is investigating how TBI affects the heart. After injury, immune cells in the brain release extracellular vesicles that carry inflammatory signals through the bloodstream, where they may reach the heart and contribute to the buildup of fatty deposits.
Tess Meier, PhD, and @randytrumbower, PT, PhD, have developed a mobile robotic arm that measures a person's safe range of motion and places objects at challenging distances, reducing the need for in-person evaluation by a clinician.

.@FRazaviamri, PhD, has developed a self-sealing powder for severe bleeding in junctional areas where tourniquets can't be used.
The powder's gel particles absorb blood, swell, and interlock to form a strong barrier that resists being washed out, while also fighting infection.
Safer streets start with the people who walk them. Our Safe Streets Advocacy Program empowers community members to advocate for safer roads and built environments to prevent traffic-related traumatic injuries
