Interactions Between Volumes, Flows and Pressures in the Brain: Intracranial Pressure, Cerebral Perfusion Pressure, Cerebral Autoregulation and the Concept of Compensatory Reserve
The incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been increasing globally and is estimated at 27–69 million of new cases per year. It remains the main single cause of death in young people below 40 years of a...

Open AccessAFM-based detection of glycocalyx degradation and endothelial stiffening in the db/db mouse model of diabetes
Degradation of the glycocalyx and stiffening of endothelium are important pathophysiological components of endothelial dysfunction. However, to our knowledge, these events have not been investigated in tandem ...
