Topology Optimization of Spinal Cage Designs for Improved Stress Distribution and Bone Graft Window
Sakarya Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü Dergisi, 2023 Interbody fusion is utilized as a treatment for spinal degenerative diseases. Spinal cages, also known as intervertebral cages or interbody fusion devices, are implants employed in spinal surgery to address these conditions and promote spinal stability ...

A functional motor unit in the culture dish : co-culture of spinal cord explants and muscle cells [PDF]
, 2012 Human primary muscle cells cultured aneurally in monolayer rarely contract spontaneously because, in the absence of a nerve component, cell differentiation is limited and motor neuron stimulation is missing(1). These limitations hamper the in vitro study
