Silk fibroin-collagen hydrogel loaded with IGF1-CESCs attenuates intervertebral disk degeneration by accelerating annulus fibrosus healing in rats. [PDF]
Introduction: The self-healing capacity of a damaged annulus fibrosus (AF) leads to intervertebral disk (IVD) degeneration. AF wound treatment is challenging.

Nrf2 activation by pyrroloquinoline quinone inhibits natural aging-related intervertebral disk degeneration in mice. [PDF]
Age‐related intervertebral disk degeneration (IVDD) involves increased oxidative damage, cellular senescence, and matrix degradation. Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a water‐soluble vitamin‐like compound with strong anti‐oxidant capacity.

tsRNA-04002 alleviates intervertebral disk degeneration by targeting PRKCA to inhibit apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells. [PDF]
Background Intervertebral disk degeneration (IDD) is a degenerative disease that underlies various musculoskeletal and spinal disorders and is positively correlated with age. tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNA), as a new small noncoding RNAs, its function in

How Should We Grade Cervical Disk Degeneration? A Comparison of Two Popular Classification Systems
Introduction: Despite being originally developed for the evaluation of lumbar disk degeneration, the Pfirrmann classification has emerged as the most popular classification system for cervical disk degeneration. However, with the Suzuki classification, a

The Role of Microvascular Variations in the Process of Intervertebral Disk Degeneration and Its Regulatory Mechanisms: A Literature Review. [PDF]
Microvascular changes are considered key factors in the process of intervertebral disk degeneration (IDD). Microvascular invasion and growth into the nucleus pulposus (NP) and cartilaginous endplates are unfavorable factors that trigger IDD. In contrast,

Intervertebral Disk Degeneration: The Microenvironment and Tissue Engineering Strategies. [PDF]
Intervertebral disk degeneration (IVDD) is a leading cause of disability. The degeneration is inevitable, and the mechanisms are complex. Current therapeutic strategies mainly focus on the relief of symptoms, not the intrinsic regeneration of the ...

Biomechanics of Intervertebral Disk Degeneration [PDF]
Degenerative changes in the material properties of nucleus pulposus and anulus fibrosus promote changes in viscoelastic properties of the whole disc. Volume, pressure and hydration loss in the nucleus pulposus, disk height decreases and fissures in the anulus fibrosus, are some of the signs of the degenerative cascade that advances with age and affect,

MiR-206 improves intervertebral disk degeneration by targeting GJA1. [PDF]
Background A large amount of evidence suggested that miRNA was involved in the progression of intervertebral disk degeneration (IDD). The purpose of our study was to explore the function and potential mechanism of miR-206/GJA1 axis in IDD.
