OverviewAI-generated summary

Bibhuti Ballav Saikia's research investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying traumatic brain injury (TBI) and mitochondrial dysfunction. In a 2024 publication, Saikia and collaborators utilized CRISPR/Cas9 to delete ICAM-1, demonstrating its protective effect against TBI-induced inflammatory leukocyte adhesion and transmigration by modulating the Paxillin/FAK-dependent Rho GTPase pathway. Another line of inquiry explores the bioenergetic and differentiation alterations in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from patients with mitochondrial mutations, specifically m.3243A>G and m.14739G>A. These studies reveal impaired mitochondrial morphology and respiratory dysfunction in iPSCs carrying these mutations, suggesting a link between mitochondrial health and cellular differentiation potential. Saikia has also examined the synergistic impact of mild TBI and alcohol consumption on neuroinflammation, amyloidogenesis, tau pathology, and neurodegeneration, highlighting potential psychological stress correlates. Collaborations include 14 shared publications with Fibi Meshrkey and Joshua Stabach at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
