Researching brain tumors and degenerative spine diseases



Join us on Sunday September 14 for the Mass General Brigham Eversource Cancer 5K Run-Walk as we remember Brian and raise funds for spinal tumor research and cancer care. @ShankarLabMGH @BryanDChoi @MGBneurosurgery Register or donate here: because.massgeneral.org/team/756824

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/res…
