Abstract figure legend Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that continuously remodel their architecture through coordinated cycles of fusion and fission. This review examines the four key GTPases that orchestrate mitochondrial dynamics in mammals: MFN1, MFN2, OPA1, and DRP1.

Evaluation of Partial Volume Correction Techniques for Sodium MRI of the Achilles Tendon
ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate partial volume correction (PVC) techniques for sodium MRI of the Achilles tendon in situ and in vivo. Methods Five PVC methods were evaluated including a volume ratio of the proton and sodium segmentations (PSSR), a modified least trimmed square (3D‐mLTS) linear regression, a geometric transfer matrix (GTM) approach, a ...

A wireless acquisition system for monitoring the influence of loads on vertebral column behaviour [PDF]
This paper presents a wireless acquisition module (WAM). This allows the monitoring of heavy loads influence on vertebral column’s behaviour. Each module makes the electromyography (EMG), to measure the electric potentials on the iliocostalis and ...

Complex Mechanical Loading and Pro‐Inflammatory Cytokines in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration
This study investigated the combined effects of dynamic compression and torsion with major pro‐catabolic cytokine interleukin‐1 beta (IL‐1β) and its inhibitor: interleukin‐1 receptor antagonist (IL‐1Ra), on bovine IVD in an ex vivo organ culture system and further evaluated the mechanical effects using a subject‐personalized finite element model based ...

Goat nucleus pulposus cells cultured under clinically relevant oxygen, glucose, pH, and osmolarity revealed pH to have the most influential impact on viability and glycosaminoglycan synthesis. Interactions between factors showed that disc cell behavior is shaped by the microenvironment, highlighting its importance in regenerative therapy design for the

Interacting Active Rectangles for Estimation of Intervertebral Disk Orientation [PDF]
This paper presents a fast and efficient method to determine intervertebral disk orientation in a magnetic resonance (MR) image of the spine. The algorithm originates from active contour theory and enforces a shape constraint to avoid leaks through weak ...

Equivalent stress cloud maps of cervical spine flexion movement after four anterior approach methods. (a) VBSP‐S method. (b) AVBSP‐C method. (c) APSP‐S method. (d) APSP‐C method. ACCF biomechanics depend on fixation (AVBSP/APSP) and mesh shape (linear/curved). Adjacent disc sensitivity varies. Fixation choice affects titanium mesh stress.

Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A, the newly identified APP‐binding protein, reduces amyloid‐β plaque deposition in Alzheimer's disease by suppressing the amyloidogenic pathway through inhibition of BACE1‐APP interaction and alteration of APP endosomal‐lysosomal localization.

Correlation of radiographic and MRI parameters to morphological and biochemical assessment of intervertebral disc degeneration [PDF]
Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a common finding in MRI scans and X-rays. However, their correlation to morphological and biochemical changes is not well established.
