MICROGLIA RAGE EXACERBATES THE PROGRESSION OF NEURODEGENERATION WITHIN THE SOD1 G93A MURINE MODEL OF AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS IN A SEX-DEPENDENT MANNER

Microglia RAGE exacerbates the progression of neurodegeneration within the SOD1 G93A murine model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in a sex-dependent manner

Abstract Background Burgeoning evidence highlights seminal roles for microglia in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) binds ligands relevant to ALS that accumulate in the diseased spinal cord and RAGE has been previously implicated in th

Effect of graded posterior element and ligament removal on annulus stress and segmental stability in lumbar spine stenosis: a finite element analysis study

The study aimed to investigate the impact of posterior element and ligament removal on the maximum von Mises stress, and maximum shear stress of the eight-layer annulus for treating stenosis at the L3-L4 and L4-L5 levels in the lumbar spine.Previous studies have indicated that laminectomy alone can result in segmental instability unless fusion is p
