Review of the tetrapod skull–neck boundary: implications for the evolution of the atlas–axis complex
ABSTRACT This review describes variation in modern and fossil occiput–atlas–axis complex anatomy of total group Tetrapoda with the aim of documenting the range of structural variation throughout their evolutionary history to establish grounds for comparison of the complex between tetrapod clades.

The intervertebral joints I: The intervertebral disc
The structure of the intervertebral disc is described in detail, some reference being made to clinically relevant aspects of the anatomy. Some biomechanical terms, such as motion and force, creep and hysteresis, are explained and discussed in relation to the intervertebral disc as a clinically important structure.

ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) can contribute to lower back and neck pain. In IDD, the most affected component of the intervertebral disc is the nucleus pulposus (NP). Derived from the notochord, where cells are organized into a tandem configuration, young NP cells cluster in three‐dimensional (3D) networks embedded in a gelatinous ...

Cone beam computed tomographic myelography in horses with cervical vertebral compressive myelopathy
Abstract Background While computed tomographic (CT) myelography is increasingly available and has been evaluated in alive horses, objective criteria for diagnosing cervical vertebral compressive myelopathy (CVCM) are lacking. Objectives To establish morphometric dimensions of the cervical vertebral canal and spinal cords from horses with CVCM and ...

BMP-2 and TGF-β3 do not prevent spontaneous degeneration in rabbit disc explants but induce ossification of the annulus fibrosus [PDF]
Introduction: Different approaches for disc regeneration are currently under investigation. Beside gene therapy and tissue engineering techniques, the application of growth and differentiation factors own promising potential.

P. acnes infection impairs the mitochondrial biogenesis of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) through the AMPK/SIRT‐1/PGC‐1α signaling pathway. This results in impaired mitochondria that are unable to generate sufficient ATP, and impaired delivery of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species to carry out the bactericidal process effectively.

Axial T2* mapping in intervertebral discs: a new technique for assessment of intervertebral disc degeneration [PDF]
Objectives: To demonstrate the potential benefits of biochemical axial T2* mapping of intervertebral discs (IVDs) regarding the detection and grading of early stages of degenerative disc disease using 1.5-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a ...
