Piezo2 expressed in proprioceptive neurons is essential for skeletal integrity
Eran Assaraf,Eran Assaraf,Ronen Blecher,Ronen Blecher,Lia Heinemann-Yerushalmi,Sharon Krief,Ron Carmel Vinestock,Inbal E. Biton,Vlad Brumfeld,Ron Rotkopf,Erez Avisar,Gabriel Agar,Elazar Zelzer +12 more
TL;DR: Deletion of Piezo2 in proprioceptive neurons, but not in skeletal lineages, recapitulated the human phenotype in mice, expanding the range of known regulatory roles of the proprioception system on the skeleton and providing a central component of the underlying molecular mechanism.
A Mechanical Jack-like Mechanism Drives Spontaneous Fracture Healing in Neonatal Mice
TL;DR: It is shown that muscle force is important in this process, as blocking muscle contraction disrupts growth plate formation, leading to premature callus ossification and failed reduction.

What is the Best Way to Apply the Spurling Test for Cervical Radiculopathy
TL;DR: Whenever cervical radiculopathy is suspected, observations suggest the staged provocative maneuvers that should be included in the physical evaluation are extension and lateral bending first, followed by the addition of axial compression in cases with an inconclusive effect.

Management of symptomatic vertebral hemangioma: follow-up of 6 patients.
TL;DR: The coupling of preoperative transarterial embolization followed by vertebroplasty, with or without surgical decompression depending on the patients' presenting symptoms, is a relatively safe treatment and may offer long-term symptomatic relief in these patients.

Ronen Blecher,Ronen Blecher,Sharon Krief,Tal Galili,Eran Assaraf,Eran Assaraf,Tomer Stern,Yoram Anekstein,Gabriel Agar,Elazar Zelzer +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that natural reduction is regulated by the proprioceptive system and improves with age, uncovering a physiological role for proprioception in non-autonomous regulation of skeletal integrity.
