TL;DR: A review of spinal cord blood supply is presented, discussing the anatomy of the vascular system and physiological aspects of blood flow regulation in normal and injured spinal cords.

TL;DR: The authors highlight the latest discoveries pertaining to the molecular genetics of CCMs, highlighting potential new therapeutic targets for the treatment of these lesions.

TL;DR: A systematic Medline review of the most current articles related to gene involvement in the development of IVDD highlights the latest advances in gene association with specific degenerated disc phenotypes, single nucleotide polymorphisms, disease heredity, and gene-environmental interactions in relation to IVDD to help improve future studies related to the genetic mechanisms underlying IVDD.

TL;DR: Miniaturized confocal fiberoptic endomicroscopy using near-infrared (NIR) imaging system with indocyanine green (ICG) as an in vivo tool to identify infiltrating glioblastoma cells and tumor margins suggests that combined macroscopic and microscopic in vivo ICG imaging could allow interactive identification of microscopic tumor cell infiltration into the brain, substantially improving intraoperative decisions.

TL;DR: Innovations in the fields of surgical optics, computer image analysis, and molecular bioengineering are advancing fluorescence-guided tumor resection paradigms, leading to cell-level approaches to visualization and resection of brain tumors.
