Fig. 26.1 Hyaluronic acid and CD44 are essential components of brain matrix and glioma invasion. (a) Schematic of HA architecture in brain. Brain matrix structure is based on high molecular…
Fig. 13.1 Three-dimensional navUS of a recurrent low-grade glioma is displayed side-by-side with preoperative MRI in axial, coronal and sagittal reconstructions. Ultrasound and MR images correspond exactly to each other….

Fig. 20.1 Increased expression of MMP2 protein in the metastatic brain foci. (a) Evaluation of protein expression by Western blotting. The membranes were stripped and re-probed with β-actin antibody to…
Fig. 17.1 The two-point method involves creating a point at the proposed limit of resection and one where the cavernous malformation abuts the pial surface; connecting the two points creates…
Fig. 15.1 Screenshot of a right temporal high-grade glioma during combined sononavigation. The preoperative contrast enhanced MRI images are seen in the left panel (dual anyplane view). The central panel…
