Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine that can cause issues with breathing, back problems and can even lead to noticeable changes such as uneven shoulders and waist. While many cases tend to be diagnosed in adolescence, doctors still have little knowledge of what causes this condition. Now, new research involving zebrafish has shed some light on the origins of scoliosis. Beth Bearce is a post-doctoral research fellow with the University of Oregon's Grime’s Lab. They join us to share what they learned and the broader implications of the research.
