Monitoring remineralization of enamel subsurface lesions by optical coherence tomography.

abstract：SIGNIFICANCE:The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a major obstacle to detecting and treating brain tumors. Overcoming this challenge will facilitate the early and accurate detection of brain lesions and guide surgical resection of tumors. AIM:We generated an orthotopic brain tumor model that simulates the pathophysiology ...
