Larger Lumbar Vertebral Body Osteophyte Volume Is Associated With Older Age and a More Caudal Vertebral Level in Individuals With Chronic Low Back Pain

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Procrustes analysis was used to match osteophyte‐free lumbar vertebral bodies to lumbar vertebral bodies containing osteophytes. The volume of the reference library bone was subtracted to create an osteophyte model, from which regional osteophyte volumes were calculated.

Intradiscal Cutibacterium acnes Sustains Modic Type 1‐Like Lesions Over Time in a Rat Lumbar Endplate Injury Model

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Intradiscal C. acnes injection sustained MC1‐like lesions with persistent neutrophil sustenance in an etiology‐specific lumbar MC rat model. This suggests that patients with bacterial MC etiology may persist in painful MC1, highlighting C. acnes and neutrophils as potential targets to promote MC1‐to‐MC2 conversion and improve pain and disability ...

Serglycin secreted by late-stage nucleus pulposus cells is a biomarker of intervertebral disc degeneration

open access: yesNature Communications
Intervertebral disc degeneration is a natural process during aging and a leading cause of lower back pain. Here, we generate a comprehensive atlas of nucleus pulposus cells using single-cell RNA-seq analysis of human nucleus pulposus tissues (three males

Small-molecule suppressors of proteoglycan catabolism in degenerative disc cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
INTRODUCTION: Proteoglycans (PGs) occupy the predominant extracellular matrix (ECM) components in cartilages and intervertebral discs (IVDs). Large numbers of compositional glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) render PG highly hydrophilic for providing water ...
