Development of a whole organ culture model for intervertebral disc disease
Journal of Orthopaedic Translation, 2016 Background/Objective: Whole organ in vitro intervertebral disc models have been associated with poor maintenance of cell viability. No previous studies have used a rotating wall vessel bioreactor for intervertebral disc explants culture.

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
