P.6867 right column 2nd paragraph: "Native brain tissue is one of the softest tissues in the body (elastic modulus (E) = 0.5–1 kPa [refs 21,22]) compared to skeletal muscle (E ∼ 10 kPa [primary source]), cartilage (E ∼ 500 kPa [ref 24]) and cortical bone (E ∼ 15 × 10^6 kPa [ref 25]). Additionally, the brain is made of many structures such as white and grey matter, pia mater and vasculature that have elastic moduli varying from 0.5 to 50 kPa [refs 22,26,27]." See BNID 101500 |
