Inflammation in intervertebral disc degeneration and regeneration [PDF]

Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2015
Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is one of the major causes of low back pain, a problem with a heavy economic burden, which has been increasing in prevalence as populations age. Deeper knowledge of the complex spatial and temporal orchestration of cellular interactions and extracellular matrix remodelling is critical to improve current IVD ...

Current strategies for treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration: substitution and regeneration possibilities [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Intervertebral disc degeneration has an annual worldwide socioeconomic impact masked as low back pain of over 70 billion euros. This disease has a high prevalence over the working age class, which raises the socioeconomic impact over the ...

The relationship between Modic changes and intervertebral disc degeneration [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Recent reported results have added to the weight of evidence supporting association between disc degeneration and Modic changes. Endplate or Modic changes are also associated with increased body mass index.

Accelerated cellular senescence in degenerate intervertebral discs: a possible role in the pathogenesis of intervertebral disc degeneration [PDF]

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2007
AbstractCurrent evidence implicates intervertebral disc degeneration as a major cause of low back pain, although its pathogenesis is poorly understood. Numerous characteristic features of disc degeneration mimic those seen during ageing but appear to occur at an accelerated rate.

Exhaustion of nucleus pulposus progenitor cells with ageing and degeneration of the intervertebral disc. [PDF]

, 2012
Despite the high prevalence of intervertebral disc disease, little is known about changes in intervertebral disc cells and their regenerative potential with ageing and intervertebral disc degeneration.

FGF4 retrogene on CFA12 is responsible for chondrodystrophy and intervertebral disc disease in dogs. [PDF]

, 2017
Chondrodystrophy in dogs is defined by dysplastic, shortened long bones and premature degeneration and calcification of intervertebral discs. Independent genome-wide association analyses for skeletal dysplasia (short limbs) within a single breed ...

Genetic factors in intervertebral disc degeneration

Genes & Diseases, 2016
Low back pain (LBP) is a major cause of disability and imposes huge economic burdens on human society worldwide. Among many factors responsible for LBP, intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is the most common disorder and is a target for intervention. The etiology of IDD is complex and its mechanism is still not completely understood.

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.
