Article Synopsis
- - The structure of spinal vertebrae is crucial for posture and the function of organs and the nervous system, while kyphoscoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine that affects these functions.
- - Congenital kyphoscoliosis arises during fetal development and is present from early childhood, but the genetic factors and mechanisms behind it are still unidentified, making research challenging.
- - Researchers are using rat models to explore the gene-related causes of congenital kyphoscoliosis, aiming to advance understanding and potential treatments for the condition in humans.
