The causality between smoking and intervertebral disc degeneration mediated by IL-1β secreted by macrophage: A Mendelian randomization study

Heliyon
There is still a lack of high-level evidence regarding the causal relationship between smoking and intervertebral disc degenerative diseases. This study utilized data from genome wide analysis studies and conducted two-sample Mendelian randomization ...

Friction in metal-on-metal total disc arthroplasty: effect of ball radius [PDF]

, 2012
Total Disc Arthroplasty (TDA) can be used to replace a degenerated intervertebral disc in the spine. There are different designs of prosthetic discs, but one of the most common is a ball-and-socket combination.

Novel Antioxidant and Antibacterial Injectable Hydrogels Incorporating Clove Oil‐Loaded Mesoporous Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles: A Promising Strategy for Enhanced Bone Regeneration

Macromolecular Bioscience, EarlyView.
A novel injectable hydrogel composed of alginate–gelatin–xanthan gum incorporating clove oil (CLV)‐loaded mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles is developed. The system demonstrates enhanced antioxidant and antibacterial activity, increased Young's modulus, and good injectability.

Development of a Grasshopper‐Leg‐Inspired Back‐Type Exoskeleton for the Reduction of Muscle Activation During Stoop Activities

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farmers frequently suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, particularly lower back pain (LBP), mainly due to occupational ergonomic factors such as repetitive stooping and lifting. This study proposes using an exoskeleton to reduce LBP risk by providing external torque to the hip joints.

Advancing Intervertebral Disc Biology via Omics: Implications for Nucleus Pulposus Progenitor Cell-Based Regeneration. [PDF]

JOR Spine
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a multifactorial condition underpinned by complex molecular mechanisms. This review highlights advances in RNA sequencing and multi‐omics approaches that have elucidated gene regulatory networks, cellular heterogeneity, and progenitor cell dynamics in the nucleus pulposus.

Biomaterial‐Based Emergency Intervention for Secondary Spinal Cord Injury

Small Science, EarlyView.
Emergency intervention using advanced biomaterials targets key pathological mechanisms to block secondary spinal cord injury (SCI) by inhibiting inflammation, reducing excitotoxicity, restoring the blood−spinal cord barrier, and limiting scar formation, which provides significant neural protection and promotes neural regeneration, offering promising ...
