Neurite outgrowth on a DNA crosslinked hydrogel with tunable stiffnesses.

abstract：:Changes in fetal magnetocardiographic (fMCG) signals are indicators for fetal body movement. We propose a novel approach to reliably extract fetal body movements based on the field strength of the fMCG signal independent of its frequency. After attenuating the maternal MCG, we use a Hilbert transform approach to ident...
