Does serum neurofilament light help predict accelerated cognitive ageing in unimpaired older adults?
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 IntroductionNeurofilament light (NfL) is a blood biomarker of neurodegeneration. While serum NfL levels have been demonstrated to increase with normal ageing, the relationship between serum NfL levels and normal age-related changes in cognitive functions

Analysis of water absorbency into knitted spacer structures [PDF]
, 2009 The absorbency properties of knitted structures are very important in designing garments that both remove liquid sweat from the skin and provide tactile and sensorial comfort to the wearer. Water absorbency by knitted spacer structures was experimentally
