The pathophysiology of the intervertebral disc

Joint Bone Spine, 2001
After a review of disk structure, the pivotal role of disk cells in producing and renewing the extracellular disk matrix is emphasized. Disk cells rely on nutrients that diffuse through the vertebral endplates. Microelectrode methods have been developed to study nutrient diffusion and endplate permeability. Mechanical stimuli modify disk cell activity.

Characterization of Microplastics in Human Gastric Cancer and Control Tissues and Analysis of Associated Genetic Features

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study characterizes the presence of microplastics in human normal gastric, para‐tumor, and gastric tumor tissue and confirms the association between microplastic exposure and lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer. This study explores the transcriptomic changes induced by microplastic exposure, laying the foundation for further investigation into

Endogenous musculoskeletal tissue engineering - a focused perspective [PDF]

, 2012
Two major difficulties facing widespread clinical implementation of existing Tissue Engineering (TE) strategies for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders are (1) the cost, space and time required for ex vivo culture of a patient’s autologous cells ...

Biocompatible Ink Optimization Enables Functional Volumetric Bioprinting With Xolography

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Xolography's reliance on weak‐base co‐initiators introduces unique biochemical constraints. By dissecting the effects of extracellular pH, osmolality, and lysosomotropic stress, this study defines the biochemical design space that enables fully biocompatible, cell‐laden volumetric printing. Abstract Xolography is a novel linear volumetric manufacturing

Allogeneic fibroblasts ameliorate intervertebral disc degeneration by reducing osteophytes in rabbits

Frontiers in Medicine
IntroductionLow back pain (LBP) was commonly induced by intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), which is accompanied by the loss of disc height and osteophyte generation.

Magnetic resonance imaging features of canine intradural/extramedullary intervertebral disc extrusion in seven cases

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Intervertebral disc disease, including intervertebral disc extrusions and protrusions, is the most common spinal cord disorder in dogs. Atypical and uncommon intervertebral disc herniations include intradural/intramedullary disc extrusion, intervertebral

Dynamic, Reconfigurable, and Hierarchical Biosynthetic Composites via Collagen Self‐Assembly within Highly Crowded Microgel Pastes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A new approach to extracellular matrix‐mimetic, hierarchical biomaterials is presented. Soft gels composed of overpacked hydrogel microparticle arrays present a biomolecularly crowded environment permissive to the self‐assembly of collagen networks.

A case report of vacuum sign surgery for the inner recess of lumbar spinal canal

Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery
The formation of intervertebral disc vacuum sign can be observed in late stage degenerative changes of the lumbar disc. In 1937, Magnusson first proposed intervertebral disc vacuum sign, which refers to the accumulation of gas caused by disc dehydration ...
