Systematic Review of Paraspinal Muscle Changes in Lumbar Spondylolisthesis: MRI and CT Insights. [PDF]
Orthop SurgParaspinal muscle degeneration, especially multifidus atrophy and fat infiltration (FI), contributes to spinal instability and spondylolisthesis progression. Reduced multifidus area and increased FI correlate with instability, while compensatory erector spinae hypertrophy is often observed, particularly in isthmic cases, highlighting the need for ...

Galectin-4: A Novel Mediator of Human Intervertebral Disc Degeneration. [PDF]
JOR SpineGalectin‐4 correlates with intervertebral disc degeneration, independent of age, sex, or underlying pathology. Functionally, it activates NF‐κB signaling and induces pro‐inflammatory and matrix‐degrading responses, with stronger effects in nucleus pulposus cells, identifying it as a novel molecular player in disc degeneration.
