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…
