Abstract:Objectives
Zebrafish research highlighted the critical role of cilia-driven cerebrospinal flow (CSF) in spine development, establishing CSF flow irregularities as an underlying biological cause of idiopathic scoliosis (IS). In this study, our objective was to assess and compare the cerebrospinal flow (CSF) of two populations (healthy adolescents and adolescents with IS) in order to detect anomalies similar to those in the animal model.
Methods
We conducted a prospective monocentric case-control study with 6 … Show more
