Development and degeneration of the intervertebral discs
Molecular Medicine Today, 1995 The intervertebral discs undergo profound changes in structure and composition during development and aging. They also degenerate much earlier than other cartilaginous tissues, and in severe cases may lose function completely. The reasons for this early degeneration are unknown, but external factors, such as mechanical overload on the spine, or smoking,

Evaluation of the influence of kyphosis and scoliosis on intervertebral disc extrusion in French bulldogs [PDF]
, 2018 Although thoracic vertebral malformations with kyphosis and scoliosis are often considered incidental findings on diagnostic imaging studies of screw-tailed brachycephalic breeds, they have been suggested to interfere with spinal biomechanics and ...

The role of ferroptosis in intervertebral disc degeneration
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Nucleus pulposus, annulus fibrosus, and cartilage endplate constitute an avascular intervertebral disc (IVD), which is crucial for spinal and intervertebral joint mobility. As one of the most widespread health issues worldwide, intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is recognized as a key contributor to back and neck discomfort.

The Proteolysis of ECM in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (IDD) is a pathological process that commonly occurs throughout the human life span and is a major cause of lower back pain. Better elucidation of the molecular mechanisms involved in disc degeneration could provide a theoretical basis for the development of lumbar disc intervention strategies.

Cervical intervertebral disc degeneration and dizziness
World Journal of Clinical Cases, 2021 Clinical studies have found that patients withcervical degenerative disease are usually accompanied by dizziness. Anterior cervical surgery can eliminate not only chronic neck pain, cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy, but also dizziness. Immunohistochemical studies show that a large number of mechanoreceptors, especially Ruffini corpuscles, are ...

Intervertebral Disc Biology: Genetic Basis of Disc Degeneration [PDF]
Current Molecular Biology Reports, 2018 This review aims to highlight recent advances in understanding the genetic basis of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD).It has been known for some time that IDD is highly heritable. Recent studies, and in particular the availability of agnostic techniques such as genome-wide association studies, have identified new variants in a variety of genes ...
