Automatic Detection of Spinal Pathologies Based on MRI Scans
This study introduces an automated system for detecting spinal pathologies in MRI scans, aiming to enhance efficiency and accuracy in medical diagnostics. By leveraging deep learning, the tool can assist radiologists in identifying and classifying pathological vertebrae, potentially improving diagnostic workflows. Background MRI scans are essential for diagnosing various lumbar spine conditions, including infections, inflammations, […] Read More >

Nanomedicine is medical treatment at the level of single molecules or molecular assemblies that provide structure, control, signaling, homeostasis, and motility in cells, i.e., at the “nano” scale of about 100 mm or less. There have been many scientific and technological advances in both physical and biological sciences over the past several years that make nano medicine […] Read More >
Genetics: Our laboratory focuses on the genetic and hormonal regulation of bone remodeling, microarchitecture and strength. These traits have a high degree of heritability, and one aspect of our research is to characterize new genetic determinants of bone remodeling as well as elucidate the mechanism of action of selected genes. Our GWAS confirmed the role of […] Read More >

Novel Antioxidant for Treatment of Age-related Degenerative Diseases We are studying the potential of S-allylmercapto-N-acetylcysteine (ASSNAC) a newly developed derivative of allicin (the active component in garlic) to serve as a treatment for oxidative stress associated degenerative diseases. The research involves cell biology tools and animal models. The following specific subjects are studied: Demonstrating the […] Read More >
The general purpose of my research is to describe the genetic and endocrine regulation of bone metabolism. To this end, we developed expertise in most aspects of bone research, from in vivo models, imaging of bone microarchitecture, in vitro cell cultures and molecular biology. Main Research Topics Regulation of bone metabolism by sex steroids Role […] Read More >
Industrial Research Services: 1. Bone cells in culture – We offer a bone marrow derived bone-like tissue in culture for testing the effect of various factors, hormones, drugs etc. on bone cells proliferation, differentiation and mineralization. The model is described in the following papers:a. S. Pitaru, S. Kotev-Emeth, D. Noff, S. Kaffuler, N. Savion; Effect of […] Read More >
