Immunohistochemical visualization of lymphatic vessels in human dura mater: methodological perspectives [PDF]
Fluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2023 Background Despite greatly renewed interest concerning meningeal lymphatic function over recent years, the lymphatic structures of human dura mater have been less characterized. The available information derives exclusively from autopsy specimens.

Comparison of Biomechanical Properties of Dura Mater Substitutes and Cranial Human Dura Mater : An In Vitro Study. [PDF]
J Korean Neurosurg Soc, 2019 The aim of this study was to investigate the biomechanical differences between human dura mater and dura mater substitutes to optimize biomimetic materials.Four groups were investigated. Group I used cranial dura mater (n=10), group II used Gore-Tex® Expanded Cardiovascular Patch (W.L.

Tensile properties of human spinal dura mater and pericranium
Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine, 2022 Autologous pericranium is a promising dural graft material. An optimal graft should exhibit similar mechanical properties to the native dura, but the mechanical properties of human pericranium have not been characterized, and studies of the biomechanical
