Regional specificity of matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression in the brain: voxel-level mapping in primary glioblastomas

Voxel-based statistical analysis revealed the anatomical specificity of MMP-9 expression levels in glioblastoma. The identified correlation between molecular biomarkers and anatomical distribution may increase our understanding of the biological characteristics of glioblastoma and provide new insight into the molecular subtypes of glioblastoma.
