Scientists have recapitulated in the laboratory how the cellular structures that give rise to our spinal column form sequentially. They have created a 3D in vitro model that mimics how the precursor ...

A team of scientists at Miami University is developing an engineered spine that mimics human tissue and muscle to aid in teaching surgical residents surgical techniques. The team, led by Jessica ...

There is an increasing need to accurately define the soft tissue components of the human cervical spine in order to develop and exercise mathematical analogs such as the finite element model.

The passive combined flexion and axial loading responses of the unembalmed human cervical spine were measured in a dynamic test environment. The influence of end condition (the degree of constraint ...
