Optimization of photobiomodulation therapy for spinal cord injury: A review
Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy in the red and near‐infrared range can significantly modulate the secondary injury response and promote the reparative and regenerative potential of neural tissue after spinal cord injury (SCI). At present, due to the nature of delivery methods, the most effective dose and irradiance at the injury site to optimize ...

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Knee osteoarthritis is experienced by hundreds of millions of people worldwide and is a major cause of disability. Although enhancing physical activity levels and the participation in exercise programmes has been proved to improve the debilitating illness of osteoarthritis, many do not engage in recommended levels of physical activity.

Complex Mechanical Loading and Pro‐Inflammatory Cytokines in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration
JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.This study investigated the combined effects of dynamic compression and torsion with major pro‐catabolic cytokine interleukin‐1 beta (IL‐1β) and its inhibitor: interleukin‐1 receptor antagonist (IL‐1Ra), on bovine IVD in an ex vivo organ culture system and further evaluated the mechanical effects using a subject‐personalized finite element model based ...

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.Goat nucleus pulposus cells cultured under clinically relevant oxygen, glucose, pH, and osmolarity revealed pH to have the most influential impact on viability and glycosaminoglycan synthesis. Interactions between factors showed that disc cell behavior is shaped by the microenvironment, highlighting its importance in regenerative therapy design for the
