Revisiting intervertebral disc degeneration: lipid metabolism disorders as overlooked contributors to complex pathology [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
With the global population aging, intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), an aging-related disease, has been confirmed to be an important cause of low back pain (LBP).

The role of ageing and oxidative stress in intervertebral disc degeneration

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is the primary cause of intervertebral disc (IVD) disease. With the increased ageing of society, an increasing number of patients are plagued by intervertebral disc disease. Ageing not only accelerates the decreased

Piezoelectricity in the Intervertebral disc

Journal of Biomechanics, 2020
Lower back pain is a major global health challenge that can often be caused by degeneration of the Intervertebral Disc (IVD). While IVD biomechanics are a key factor in the degenerative cycle, many mechanotransduction pathways remain unknown, in particular the electro-mechanical coupling in the loaded tissue. However, despite evidence for a role in the

Sal003 alleviated intervertebral disc degeneration by inhibiting apoptosis and extracellular matrix degradation through suppressing endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway in rats

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Apoptosis and extracellular matrix degradation of the nucleus pulposus are the main initiators of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) and can be explained by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.

Inhibition of lysyl oxidase accelerates intervertebral disc degeneration induced by apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells

陆军军医大学学报, 2023
Objective To explore the role and possible mechanism of lysyl oxidase (LOX) in age-related degeneration of intervertebral disc. Methods Six SD rats, aged of 2, 8 and 20 months respectively, were subjected, and then underwent intervertebral disc MRI and X-

Mechanotransduction in intervertebral discs [PDF]

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, 2014
AbstractMechanotransduction plays a critical role in intracellular functioning—it allows cells to translate external physical forces into internal biochemical activities, thereby affecting processes ranging from proliferation and apoptosis to gene expression and protein synthesis in a complex web of interactions and reactions.

Pressure distributions inside intervertebral discs under unilateral pedicle screw fixation in a porcine spine model

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2018
Background Little data are available regarding the effects of pedicle screws on the intervertebral disc stress for different spinal segments. The aim of this study was to analyze the intervertebral disc stress in response to the placement of pedicle ...

Prolapsed intervertebral disc [PDF]

BMJ, 2008
Prolapsed intervertebral disc is common—it is seen in up to a quarter of magnetic resonance scans and can be detected even in asymptomatic adults.1 Disc prolapse is genetically driven—twin studies indicate that at least 60% of the variance can be explained on genetic grounds and not by the commonly assumed environmental factors (work, trauma, exposure ...
