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.

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,

Computer assisted characterization of cervical intervertebral disc degeneration in MRI [PDF]

, 2009
A texture-based pattern recognition system is proposed for the automatic characterization of cervical intervertebral disc degeneration from saggital magnetic resonance images of the spine.

MiR-532 downregulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling via targeting Bcl-9 and induced human intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus cells apoptosis

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2018
Objective: Intervertebral disc degeneration was characterized with aberrant intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus cells apoptosis. MiR-532 was reported to be up-regulated in the patients with intervertebral disc degeneration.

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.

Role of Necroptosis in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Apoptosis has historically been considered the primary form of programmed cell death (PCD) and is responsible for regulating cellular processes during development, homeostasis, and disease. Conversely, necrosis was considered uncontrolled and unregulated.

Piezo2 Mediates a Vicious Cycle of “Mechanical Homeostasis Imbalance—Inflammation” in Sensory Nerves and the Cartilage Endplate

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In a lumbar spine instability model, dorsal root ganglion cells mediate the perception of relevant mechanical stresses through Piezo2 and subsequently release CGRP. CGRP activates the NF‐κB signaling pathway in cartilage endplate cells through the receptor RAMP1.

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 ...

Neuroregulatory Biomaterials for Intervertebral Disc Regeneration via Neuro-Disc Microenvironment Modulation

Research
Intervertebral discs have long been considered to lack neural innervation. However, recent studies have revealed that intervertebral disc degeneration is accompanied by marked pathological nerve invasion.

GATA4‐Driven Transcription of HtrA1 Promotes Cellular Senescence in Ménière's Disease and Age‐Related Audio‐Vestibular Dysfunction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies the HDAC6/GATA4/HtrA1 axis as a critical driver of cellular senescence in the inner ear. GATA4 nuclear translocation, facilitated by HDAC6 downregulation, transcriptionally activates HtrA1, promoting hair cell senescence, SASP, and audio‐vestibular dysfunction in models of Ménière's disease and age‐related audio‐vestibular ...
