Scientists at Northwestern University have built what they call the most advanced human spinal ...

So far this year, medtech companies and academic institutions are making key strides in spine biologics. From new product launches to research breakthroughs, here are the biggest developments to know: ...

Neurites include axons, which are often severed during spinal cord injuries. When axons are cut, communication between ...

A 42-year-old construction worker sits across from me in clinic, MRI in hand, convinced he needs surgery. His primary care ...

Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation ...

As people get older, the intervertebral discs in their spine tend to deteriorate, some of which end up being surgically replaced with implants. A new patient-specific spinal model, however, could help ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed the most advanced organoid model for human spinal cord injury to date. In a new study, the research team used lab-grown human spinal cord ...

Spinal cord injury remains one of the most challenging neurological conditions to treat, largely because damage continues to worsen long after the initial trauma. Secondary injury processes—driven by ...

Marras demonstrates the MRI's ability to scan patients as they perform normal activities, such as lifting. Measuring the effects of force on muscles and bones in the spine is critical for treating the ...
