Harnessing Metabolic Priming to Engineer Human Nucleus Pulposus Macromass Overcoming Scalability‐Phenotype Tradeoff

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Human platelet lysate acts as a metabolic primer for hNPCs, enhancing fatty acid oxidation to drive proliferation while preserving phenotype. This enables construction of high‐quality, large‐size macromasses without necrotic defects, demonstrating exceptional efficacy in repairing degenerated discs in situ and providing a novel paradigm for ...

Proteolysis at the extracellular matrix interface: Molecular architects and regulators in health and disease

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic scaffold that orchestrates tissue architecture and cellular communication. A critical but underexplored interplay between proteases and cluster of differentiation molecules (CD) governs ECM turnover and directs cell fate.

The Relationship between HELQ Expression and Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

open access: yesGlobal Spine Journal, 2016
Introduction Degeneration of the intervertebral disc, mainly of nucleus pulposus, is strongly implicated as a cause of low back pain. However, the mechanism of disc degeneration is not clear.

Newly identified intervertebral fat pad degenerates after intervertebral disc injury in a rat model of degeneration

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study characterizes a newly‐described intervertebral fat pad (IVFP) anterior to rat IVDs, with evidence for its existence in mice and human IVDs as well. In rats, the IVFP gradually degenerated following IVD injury with changes in adipocyte size and fibrous tissue infiltration, suggesting it could play a functional role in IVD health and ...

The relation between sagittal morphology of the lumbosacral spine and the degree of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration

open access: yesActa Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica, 2020
Objectives: We investigated the relationship between the lumbosacral morphology and degree of intervertebral disc degeneration in a large sample of young patients. In addition, the relation between various morphological parameters (sacral table angle and

Factors and Experiences Associated With Unscheduled Hospital Readmission After Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion: A Case–Controlled Study

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1389-1396, May 2025.
The research utilized a case–control approach to contrast patients experiencing unscheduled readmissions with those undergoing planned readmissions due to staged surgery. Findings indicated a 3.88% rate of unscheduled readmissions, mainly linked to adjacent segment disease, with 3.35% necessitating reoperation.

Mn-MIL-100@AKG alleviates intervertebral disc degeneration by regulating mitophagy

open access: yesMaterials Today Bio
Currently, the therapy of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) mostly focuses on basic molecular causes. Research on the alterations of metabolites in the intervertebral disc prior to and following intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) remains ...

Establishing a Staging System for Adjacent Segment Disease and Exploring Its Significance in Guiding Surgical Decisions: A Retrospective Study

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1418-1432, May 2025.
Developed a staging system for adjacent segment disease based on degeneration characteristics. Verified the feasibility and reliability of stage‐guided surgical decision‐making through surgical data, radiological data, and follow‐up data. This staging system was closely correlated with intervertebral disc degeneration and disc height while also ...
