Progress in spinal cord organoid research: advancing understanding of neural development, disease modelling, and regenerative medicine.

Biomater Transl

November 2024

Key Laboratory of Spine and Spinal Cord Injury Repair and Regeneration of Ministry of Education, Department of Orthopedics, Tongji Hospital affiliated to Tongji University, School of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, Shanghai, China.

Stem cell-derived spinal cord organoids (SCOs) have revolutionised the study of spinal cord development and disease mechanisms, offering a three-dimensional model that recapitulates the complexity of native tissue. This review synthesises recent advancements in SCO technology, highlighting their role in modelling spinal cord morphogenesis and their application in neurodegenerative disease research. We discuss the methodological breakthroughs in inducing regional specification and cellular diversity within SCOs, which have enhanced their predictive ability for drug screening and their relevance in mimicking pathological conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases and neuromuscular disorders.

Background: Robotic assistance has become increasingly prevalent in spinal surgery in recent years, emerging as a tool to increase accuracy and precision and lower complication rates and radiation exposure. The 7 and 8 Annual Seattle Science Foundation (SSF) Robotics Courses showcased presentations and demonstrations from some of the field's most experiences leaders on latest topics in robotics and spinal surgery, including cutting-edge preoperative planning technologies, augmented reality (AR) in the operating room, cervical fusion with transpedicular screws, and neuro-oncologic management. We provide a scoping review of the use of robotics technology in spinal surgery featuring highlights from the 7 and 8 Annual SSF Robotics Courses.

Introduction: Endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) is a minimally invasive technique that allows for direct visualization of spinal pathologies and has become a safe and effective alternative to traditional open spine surgery. Conventionally performed in the prone position, biportal endoscopy can also be done in the lateral position to avoid prone-associated complications. To our knowledge, the use of unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) in the lateral position has not been previously reported.

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) stands as a pivotal advancement in patient-centered care, offering substantial improvements in the diagnosis, management, and outcomes of chronic conditions. Through the utilization of advanced digital technologies, RPM facilitates the real-time collection and transmission of critical health data, enabling clinicians to make prompt, informed decisions that enhance patient safety and care, particularly within home environments. This narrative review synthesizes evidence from peer-reviewed studies to evaluate the transformative role of RPM, particularly its integration with Artificial Intelligence (AI), in managing chronic conditions such as heart failure, diabetes, and chronic pain.
