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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Traditional fee-for-service has been predominant despite long-term conversations about value-based care. But the latter model is likely to expand and serve as a more common option alongside ...
