Spinal cord injuries, including rare cases without radiological abnormalities, pose diagnostic challenges, particularly in cases of delayed neurological deficit development. This case report describes a 55-year-old man with a stable L1 burst fracture who developed delayed neurological deficits two weeks after sustaining a fall despite no evidence of intrinsic or extrinsic spinal cord abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patient initially presented with back pain, normal muscle strength across all myotomes, and imaging that showed no canal stenosis or retropulsion fragments.

Biomimetic neural substitutes, constructed through the bottom-up assembly of cell-matrix modulus via 3D bioprinting, hold great promise for neural regeneration. However, achieving precise control over the fate of neural stem cells (NSCs) to ensure biological functionality remains challenging. Cell behaviors are closely linked to cellular dynamics and cell-matrix mechanotransduction within a 3D microenvironment.

Despite advancements in surgical techniques and critical care, managing complications of type A and B aortic dissections remains challenging. Common morbidities include paraplegia, renal failure, stroke, and intestinal ischemia. Risks are especially high in extensive repairs, such as Crawford extent II thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, and in older patients or those with heart failure, poor pulmonary function, or renal disease.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe condition that often leads to permanent functional impairments. The current treatment options are limited and there is a need for more effective treatments. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) have shown promise in promoting neuroregeneration and modulating immune response.
