Aerogel sponges of silk fibroin, hyaluronic acid and heparin for soft tissue engineering: Composition-properties relationship
2020, Carbohydrate PolymersCitation Excerpt :The 3D scaffold itself should be adequately designed in terms of architecture and physicochemical properties. The brain is made up of 80 % water and has a Young’s modulus of less than 1 kPa (De Souza & Dobbing, 1971; Engler, Sen, Sweeney, & Discher, 2006; Nava, Raimondi, & Pietrabissa, 2012). Aerogel sponges that can transform into soft hydrogels once hydrated are good candidates to mimic these features; indeed, hydrogel-like bioscaffolds have been pointed out as ideal ones for brain regeneration (Modo, 2019).
Magnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis of neurometabolite changes in the developing rat brain at 7 T
2016, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Separate water-unsuppressed spectra were used for eddy current correction and metabolite concentration calibration. The absolute water concentration used for metabolite quantification was corrected to reflect developmental changes of water content in the brain using published data (Tkac et al., 2003; De Souza and Dobbing, 1971). SNR of each whole spectrum was calculated by LCModel as the ratio of the maximum in the spectrum minus baseline over the analysis window to twice the root mean square of the residuals.
Brain Development and Susceptibility to Damage; Ion Levels and Movements
2005, Current Topics in Developmental BiologyCitation Excerpt :Chloride follows a pattern similar to that of sodium (Vernadakis and Woodbury, 1962). Total brain water, which is 88–90% during the first postnatal week (Agrawal et al., 1968; De Souza and Dobbing, 1971; Vernadakis and Woodbury, 1962), falls somewhat more slowly than sodium and chloride and is still above the adult level (about 78% at 10 weeks of life; De Souza and Dobbing, 1971) at weaning (82% at P21 and 80% at P28; De Souza and Dobbing, 1971; Vernadakis and Woodbury, 1962). Total potassium content decreases from about 80 mmol/kg at birth to 70–75 mmol/kg at P5–8.
