Thank you @MGBResearchNews for highlighting our recent @natBME study led by @MGBneurosurgery spine surgeon @MoHadzipasic. Insights pointing towards novel non-op strategies for spinal stenosis.

New research from @MassGenBrigham could change how we treat degenerative spinal disease. Spine researchers @MoHadzipasic and @ShankarLabMGH found that mechanical stress activates a pathway (ROCK) that stiffens spinal ligaments—and blocking it may prevent the damage. Could non-surgical treatments be next? Read more about their research: mgriblog.org/2025/07/14/rese…

Liquid biopsy for CNS lymphoma. Neurosurgeons are often asked to provide tissue biopsy but the varied presentation and imaging in CNS lymphoma can take time to come to biopsy. Direct CSF genotyping, as developed in the @ShankarLabMGH @MGHNeurosurg can shrink the time to diagnosis and have patients start on treatment sooner. See doi.org/10.1182/blood.202402… for more details.
