Most chronic low back pain is “non-specific,” without a clear anatomic cause.
In our new study, we found degenerative MRI features (Modic type 1 lesions and endplate erosions) linked to a distinct inflammatory pain phenotype.

How does radiation affect vertebral bone? In mice, we found a compound effect: radiation diminished trabecular bone mass and also decreased the biomechanical efficiency of the remaining trabecular network. Great collaboration @BerkeleyME@SREmerzianPhD
