Brain Mechanical Networks – Article in Advanced Science

Mechanical networks of the brain The August issue of ADVANCED SCIENCE features an article on insights into the brain’s mechanical networks that shed light on the relationship between microanatomy and macroscopic biomechanical changes that can be measured by elastography in patients and used as novel imaging markers. The authors: Judith Bergs, Anna S. Morr, Rafaela…

Measuring tissue rigidity could improve MS monitoring

Researchers from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Max Delbrück Center have new findings on brain stiffness as a marker of neuroinflammation in multiple sclerosis to report. In this section, they answer questions about their research findings.
