Since the average osmotic pressure of the brain is 300mM and the concentration of the solution is 280mM, that means there is 20mM difference between the brain cells and CSF. This will induce osmosis and cause water to move from the CSF into the brain until the concentration becomes same. Assuming brain volume is 1200ml and the CSF constantly replaced., then the estimation of fluid should be: 20mM/300mM * 1200ml= 80 ml
If it made percent it should be: 80ml / 1200ml= 6.67%

What happens if p53 is mutated?
stira [4]

Answer:

Most TP53 mutations change single amino acids in the p53 protein, which leads to the production of an altered version of the protein that cannot control cell proliferation and is unable to trigger apoptosis in cells with mutated or damaged DNA. As a result, DNA damage can accumulate in cells
