Tumour cells tend to migrate to the vertebrae rather than to long bones, but the mechanism underlying this has been unclear. It emerges that the stem cells from which vertebrae are derived make a ...

When breast cancer spreads, it often targets the spine. Now scientists may have finally discovered why. A newfound kind of stem cell drives cancer cells to bones in the vertebrae, pathologist Matthew ...

As people age, bones lose some of their structure. Osteopenia and osteoporosis are both conditions in which bones become less dense and, therefore, can break more easily. These kinds of bone density ...

Vertebral wedging occurs when the front of one of your vertebrae collapses. This is a type of fracture that often occurs in people with osteoporosis. Anywhere from 1–1.5 million vertebral compression ...

Fractures are common in people with osteoporosis because their bones are more fragile than they used to be. The bones most at risk are the hips, wrists, and spinal vertebrae. These breaks may require ...

Your spinal cord runs all the way down from the base of the brain to the lower back. The spinal canal, which consists of tissues, cartilage, and bone, covers the spinal cord and is tasked with ...

According to the North American Community Hub Statistics (NCHstats), back pain affects four in every five people in the United States. The discomfort and loss of mobility that it causes result in 264 ...
