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 ...

Age, spinal cord injury severity, C-reactive protein levels, urination modes, and pain severity all significantly impact incidence.

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 ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed the most advanced organoid model for human spinal cord injury to date. In a new study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the research team ...

Powered by a database of over 10,000 surgical cases, Medtronic continues to evolve the UNiD™ platform to help surgeons plan procedures, personalize care for their patients and predict post-operative ...

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 organoids - ...

The first organized stem cell culture model that resembles all three sections of the embryonic brain and spinal cord, and produces a full model of the early stages of the human central nervous system, ...

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion is widely used to treat spinal disorders. The fusion involves placing a bone graft or 'cage' and/or implants where the surgically removed damaged disc was ...

A new model may help identify neurogenic bladder and other complications in patients with spinal cord injuries.
